Burning building on Lake Street in Minneapolis during George Floyd protests.

A commercial building burns on Lake Street in South Minneapolis in the early hours of May 30, 2020, during protests following the killing of George Floyd. Flames and heavy smoke engulf the structure as a person stands in silhouette on the street in front of the fire. The image was made on the fourth night of unrest, when numerous businesses and buildings along the Lake Street corridor were damaged or destroyed.
