RIP George Floyd Graffiti & Banner, Lake Street, Minneapolis

Graffiti reading "RIP GEORGE FLOYD!!!" and a banner stating "COPS MURDER! ABOLISH POLICE!" are displayed on Lake Street in South Minneapolis. This imagery appeared on May 26, 2020, the day after George Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police officers. The messages reflect the immediate public outrage and calls for police reform and abolition that emerged from the Minneapolis Uprising. Lake Street, a significant commercial corridor, became a focal point for protests and community expression during this period. The rain-slicked street and evening light convey the somber and urgent atmosphere of the city at that time.
