Mapping Prejudice Happiest Place on Earth Mural
Mapping Prejudice Happiest Place on Earth Mural.

Wheat paste art featuring George Floyd and a poster from Mapping Prejudice is displayed on Hennepin Avenue in Uptown Minneapolis. The colorful poster, designed by Mapping Prejudice, subverts the phrase "Minneapolis The Happiest Place on Earth" with a character resembling Snow White stating "Let's Seek Justice for George!", drawing attention to the city's history of racial covenants. These public art installations emerged during the Minneapolis Uprising, serving as a visual protest against racial injustice and a call for accountability following George Floyd's murder.
