Minneapolis March for Manuel Teran and Local Remembrance

rotesters gather near Hennepin Avenue and Lake Street in Minneapolis to honor Manuel “Tort” Teran, who was killed during a long-running protest effort in the South River Forest near Atlanta. Demonstrators held signs and marched in solidarity with organizers nationwide, linking the Atlanta case to local histories of protest in Minneapolis. The group paused at Lake Street and Girard Avenue, the site where Deona Marie was killed on June 13, 2021, during demonstrations following the police shooting of Winston Smith. The march connected these separate events through a shared emphasis on community memory, public accountability, and the long-term impacts of protest-related violence.
