George Floyd Square, Minneapolis: “No Racists Allowed” Sign

No Racists Allowed at George Floyd Square
Signs mark the entrance to the "Free State of George Floyd" in Minneapolis on a rainy night. This area, established in the wake of George Floyd's murder in May 2020, became a focal point for protests against racial injustice and police brutality. The "No Racists Allowed" sign reflects the community's desire to create a safe space and express solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement. The "Free State" designation signifies a temporary autonomous zone, a space reclaimed by activists and residents.
