RIP Floyd on Hennepin Ave boards
RIP Floyd on Hennepin Ave boards.

A Walgreens store on Hennepin Avenue in Minneapolis displays boarded-up windows adorned with graffiti, including 'RIP FLOYD' and 'LOVE GEORGE' alongside a raised fist symbol. These messages emerged during the Minneapolis Uprising in the aftermath of George Floyd's murder in May 2020. The plywood boards, initially installed for business protection, became a public canvas for expressions of grief, protest, and solidarity.
