George Floyd Square: New barricades and community memorials

George Floyd Square in Minneapolis features community memorials and new barricades.
George Floyd Square, located at the intersection of East 38th Street and Chicago Avenue in Minneapolis, Minnesota, became a focal point for protests following the murder of George Floyd in May 2020. The area was occupied by activists and community members for over a year, transforming it into a space for remembrance, political expression, and community organizing. This photograph shows the square after city officials had removed initial barricades and subsequently erected new ones, alongside numerous community-created memorials, including planters, flowers, candles, and artwork.
