Minneapolis: Protesters Paint Barricades for Winston Smith and Deona Marie

Protesters in Minneapolis paint concrete barriers surrounding a peace garden. This garden was established by individuals protesting the deaths of Winston Smith and Deona Marie. Smith was killed by officers serving a warrant as part of a Federal Task Force, and Marie was killed when a driver struck protesters demonstrating against Smith's death. The painted barriers, located near Seven Points Mall in Uptown Minneapolis, serve as a memorial and a canvas for protest messages.
