Minneapolis City Hall Boarded Up during Chauvin Trial

Minneapolis City Hall, a historic Beaux-Arts building completed in 1909, was boarded up during the 2021 murder trial of Derek Chauvin. The plywood sheathing served as a protective measure against potential damage amid protests and civil unrest following the murder of George Floyd. Graffiti on the boards, including "Say His Name: George Floyd" and a prayer for justice, reflects the public sentiment and the broader context of the Minneapolis Uprising.
