Hennepin Ave Boards: BLM, I Can’t Breathe, Happiest Place Sticker

Mapping Prejudice and Black Lives Matter signs
Plywood boards covering a storefront on Hennepin Avenue in Minneapolis display messages and art related to the 2020 protests. These temporary installations emerged across the city following the murder of George Floyd, serving as public canvases for grief, anger, and calls for justice. Prominent among the expressions are the phrase "I CAN'T BREATHE" and a "BLACK LIVES MATTER" sign, reflecting key slogans of the movement. A "Minneapolis The Happiest Place on Earth" sticker, associated with the Mapping Prejudice project, also appears, drawing attention to the city's history of racial covenants and systemic inequality.
