Handwritten sign at George Floyd Square in Minneapolis asks visitors not to discard memorial offerings.

A handwritten sign at George Floyd Square in Minneapolis asks visitors not to discard offerings left at the memorial at Chicago Avenue and East 38th Street. The sign is placed beside containers filled with wilted flowers and other tributes, underscoring efforts to preserve materials left in the days after George Floyd was killed in May 2020. George Floyd Square became both a memorial site and a protest space, where notes, signs, and offerings were treated as part of the public remembrance.
