George Floyd Square Murphy Ranks Barricades.

The Murphy Ranks memorial at George Floyd Square on Chicago Avenue in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is seen after an attempt by Minneapolis Public Works to clear the area. This memorial, along with barricades and other elements, became a focal point of community expression and remembrance following the murder of George Floyd in May 2020. The area evolved into a space for protest and public gathering, reflecting the ongoing impact of the Minneapolis Uprising.
