Protesters are seen climbing a fence outside the Winston Smith Memorial Site in Minneapolis. The memorials, dedicated to Winston Smith and Deona Marie, had been cleared by private security contractors earlier that morning. This event occurred in the Uptown Minneapolis neighborhood, an area that saw significant unrest following the murder of George Floyd in 2020. The memorials had become a focal point for activism and remembrance in the wake of the Minneapolis Uprising.
