Save the Boards exhibit at George Floyd Square, Minneapolis

Memorialize The Movement exhibit in Minneapolis
The "Save the Boards to Memorialize the Movement" exhibit is displayed at Phelps Park, adjacent to George Floyd Square in Minneapolis. This exhibition showcases 87 of the nearly one thousand plywood boards that were collected and preserved. These boards, originally used as protective coverings during protests and unrest following the murder of George Floyd in 2020, have been transformed into a memorial. The exhibit serves as a visual archive, preserving the messages of protest, grief, and hope that were expressed on the boards.
