Hennepin County Medical Center Graffiti: Housing is a Human Right
Taken July 2020
Graffiti expressing messages such as "Stolen Land," "Evictions Are Violence," and "Housing Is A Human Right" is visible on a wall of the Hennepin County Medical Center in Downtown Minneapolis. These messages reflect themes of housing insecurity and social justice that gained prominence during the Minneapolis Uprising and subsequent protests in the city. As a major public hospital, Hennepin County Medical Center serves a diverse population in Minneapolis, making its exterior a visible site for public commentary on social issues. The phrases highlight ongoing discussions about land ownership, the right to housing, and systemic inequalities within urban environments.
