Mapping Prejudice ‘Happiest Place’ Sticker, Uptown Minneapolis

A "Mapping Prejudice" sticker is affixed to a board in Uptown Minneapolis. The sticker features a castle silhouette and the phrase "Minneapolis: The Happiest Place on Earth," a satirical reference to the city's history of racial inequality. This artwork is associated with the Mapping Prejudice project, which documents the historical use of racial covenants in property deeds across Hennepin County, legally restricting homeownership based on race. Such public art emerged during a period of heightened awareness regarding systemic racism in Minneapolis, particularly following the 2020 protests. It serves as a reminder of the city's complex social history and ongoing efforts to confront past injustices.
