National Guard at Cedar Food & Grill during Minneapolis unrest

Minnesota National Guard personnel stand outside Cedar Food & Grill on Cedar Avenue in South Minneapolis. Their deployment followed widespread unrest in Minneapolis after the May 25, 2020 death of George Floyd. The grocery, produce, and deli business, like many others in the area, had its windows boarded up, with signs indicating it was minority-owned. The presence of the National Guard aimed to maintain order and protect businesses during a period of significant civil protest and community response.
