Midtown Greenway, Minneapolis: “Winston Smith Was Assassinated” Sticker

A sticker referencing Winston Smith is affixed to a sign along the Midtown Greenway in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
A sticker referencing Winston Smith, an activist and artist whose 1995 death was attributed to police brutality, is affixed to a sign along the Midtown Greenway in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This 5.7-mile paved trail, established on a former railroad corridor, serves as a critical route for cyclists and pedestrians, connecting the Mississippi River to the city's western edge. The presence of such political messaging on public infrastructure reflects the Greenway's role as a space for diverse expression and commentary within the urban environment. The trail, originally a railway line, was transformed into a multi-use path, highlighting the adaptive reuse of industrial corridors for community benefit.
