George Floyd Square Winter Warming Hut

A winter warming hut stands amidst snow and barricades at George Floyd Square in Minneapolis. This site, located at the intersection of 38th Street and Chicago Avenue, became a protest zone and memorial following the murder of George Floyd on May 25, 2020. Community members constructed structures like this warming hut to provide shelter and support for those maintaining the memorial and protest presence, especially during the cold Minnesota winters. The square remains a significant site of remembrance and activism, with community-built infrastructure reflecting ongoing efforts to sustain the space.
