Minnehaha Ave Graffiti: “Riots Work Ya Nerds”

Riots Work Ya Nerds Graffiti
Graffiti reading "Riots Work Ya Nerds" is spray-painted on utility boxes along Minnehaha Avenue in Minneapolis. The message appeared during a period of civil unrest in the city, following the murder of George Floyd in May 2020. Minnehaha Avenue is a major thoroughfare in South Minneapolis, known for its vibrant community and businesses. The graffiti reflects the sentiments expressed by some during the protests and uprisings that occurred in the summer of 2020.
