PEACE on boarded windows of Subway, East Lake Street, Minneapolis

A Subway restaurant on East Lake Street in South Minneapolis displays "PEACE" graffiti across its boarded windows and entrance. The plywood panels were installed following widespread protests that occurred in Minneapolis after the death of George Floyd on May 25, 2020. This retail store, like many others along Lake Street, was secured during a period of significant civil unrest. The "PEACE" message, applied by a graffiti artist, reflects a call for calm or a hopeful sentiment amidst the historical events that impacted the urban environment. The boarded-up facade serves as a visible reminder of the community's experience during that time.
