Chalk messages, including "RADICAL SIMPLY MEANS: GRASPING THINGS AT THE ROOT" and "BLM," adorn the plaza outside the Hennepin County Government Center in Minneapolis. This occurred during the period when the courthouse was the site of the Derek Chauvin murder trial. Chauvin was charged in the death of George Floyd on May 25, 2020, in South Minneapolis, an event that sparked widespread protests and a reckoning with racial injustice.
