Protester writes with chaulk at Chauvin trial.

During the trial of Derek Chauvin, a protester writes messages in chalk outside the Hennepin County Courthouse in Minneapolis. The trial, which began in March 2021, centered on the murder of George Floyd, a Black man who died in police custody. The courthouse and surrounding areas became a focal point for protests and demonstrations related to police brutality and racial justice. The chalk messages serve as a form of public expression and a visual record of the community's response to the ongoing legal proceedings and broader social issues.
