Jakeeno’s Pizza George Floyd Murals, Chicago Ave

Murals dedicated to George Floyd adorn the boarded windows of Jakeeno's Pizza on Chicago Avenue in Minneapolis. These artworks emerged in the aftermath of George Floyd's killing on May 25, 2020, which occurred just blocks away from this retail establishment. Painted on protective boards, the murals served as both a memorial to Floyd and a visual expression of the widespread protests and calls for racial justice that followed. Featuring phrases such as "George Floyd," "Black Lives Matter," and "Say His Name," they reflect the community's response and the broader Minneapolis Uprising, documenting a critical moment in the city's history.
