Maya Angelou Mural at Calhoun Square, Minneapolis

Maya Angelou mural on boarded windows at Calhoun Square in Minneapolis with a quote from “Still I Rise.”
A mural of Maya Angelou mounted on boarded storefront windows at Calhoun Square in Minneapolis features a passage from her poem “Still I Rise.” Installed along Hennepin Avenue in June 2020, the temporary artwork was part of the wave of protest murals and memorial art that appeared across the city after the murder of George Floyd. The painted boards combine Angelou’s portrait with the lines, “You may write me down in history with your bitter, twisted lies … but still, like dust, I’ll rise.”
