The Granada Theater on Hennepin Avenue in Uptown Minneapolis displays “Justice 4 George Floyd” and “Uptown Love” on its marquee. Painted plywood covers the theater’s ground-floor windows and doors, with large “BLM” graffiti and floral artwork visible across the facade. The boarding reflects security measures used by many Twin Cities businesses during protests and unrest following the police killing of George Floyd in May 2020. Built in 1928, the theater became a prominent public surface for messages during that period.
