The AutoZone on East Lake Street in Minneapolis is shown here after its reopening following the 2020 Uprising. This store was notably the first building to catch fire during the unrest that followed the murder of George Floyd. The rebuilding and reopening of businesses like this one on East Lake Street became a symbol of resilience for the South Minneapolis community. The store continues to serve as a retail outlet for automotive parts and accessories.
