O’Reilly Auto Parts Rubble with Graffiti, Minneapolis Uprising

The O'Reilly Auto Parts store on Nicollet Avenue in Minneapolis was reduced to rubble following arson during the Minneapolis Uprising. This destruction occurred in the wake of George Floyd's murder on May 25, 2020, which sparked widespread protests and civil unrest. An adjacent wall features graffiti with messages such as 'RIP George,' 'Riots work,' 'ACAB,' 'Fuck Jacob Frey,' and 'Fuck 12,' reflecting the public sentiment during that period. The site stands as a tangible record of the significant social and political upheaval that impacted urban environments and retail infrastructure in the city.
