Lake Street Boarded Businesses After George Floyd Protests

Businesses along Lake Street in Minneapolis are boarded up on June 16, 2020. These protective measures were implemented across the city in response to the widespread protests and civil unrest that followed the killing of George Floyd in May 2020. Storefronts, including those of the Yusuf Center and Dulce Mex #2, are covered with plywood, some bearing graffiti with messages like 'Justice for Floyd.' This period saw many commercial districts in Minneapolis, including Lake Street, implement protective measures against property damage during the protests.
