South Minneapolis Protest Sign: Prince Revolution Quote

This protest sign, displayed in South Minneapolis, features a quote attributed to Prince: "Nobody thought the revolution would start in Minneapolis except Prince." The sign emerged during the widespread protests and civil unrest that followed the killing of George Floyd in May 2020. It reflects the deep cultural connection to Prince within the city and the community's response to calls for social justice. Such handmade boards became a common form of public expression and art during the Minneapolis Uprising, conveying messages of grief, defiance, and hope.
