Iron Door Pub, Lyndale Ave, Minneapolis, Protest Graffiti

The Iron Door Pub on Lyndale Avenue in Uptown Minneapolis is shown boarded up in May 2020. The plywood boards are covered with protest graffiti, including messages like "BLM," "Stay Safe," "MPLS Strong," and "Look for the helpers." This reflects the widespread community response during the protests that followed the murder of George Floyd. Many businesses along commercial corridors like Lyndale Avenue and nearby Lake Street boarded their windows for protection, and these surfaces often became sites for public expression and solidarity during the civil unrest.
