Jamar Clark Memorial Bench at George Floyd Square

A flyer posted on a utility pole in Minneapolis calls on community members to help fund a permanent memorial bench for Jamar Clark, who was killed by Minneapolis police in 2015. The sign notes that Clark's family is raising $5,000 to purchase and install a bench at the site on Plymouth Avenue where he was shot, marking the approaching 10th anniversary of his death. Clark's killing sparked significant protests in Minneapolis and is considered part of the broader history of activism around police accountability that would later culminate in the movement following George Floyd's murder in 2020.
