George Floyd Square, Minneapolis: Protest Site at Night

Raised first at 39th St and Chicago Ave in Minneapolis
George Floyd Square, Minneapolis: Protest Site at Night. The raised fist monument stands at the intersection of 39th Street and Chicago Avenue, a site that became a focal point for protests following the murder of George Floyd on May 25, 2020. The area was occupied by protesters for an extended period, transforming it into a space for community organizing and remembrance. Yellow bollards and painted messages on the street, such as "Justice Demands," mark the boundaries and express the ongoing calls for accountability and change.
