Racism Kills posters on Minneapolis Midtown Greenway electrical boxes

Racism Kills posters on electrical boxes
Racism Kills posters on electrical boxes.

Posters with the message "Racism Kills" are affixed to electrical boxes along the Midtown Greenway in Minneapolis. The Midtown Greenway is a 5.7-mile-long multi-use trail built on a former railroad corridor. The posters appeared in the context of the Minneapolis Uprising, which began in late May 2020 following the murder of George Floyd. The imagery on the posters, featuring a skull-like graphic with a red drop resembling blood, serves as a stark visual protest against racial injustice and police brutality.
