Minneapolis: Protest Art Near Derek Chauvin Trial Site

Protest graffiti on plywood outside Hennepin County Government Center in Minneapolis.
Protest graffiti on plywood outside Hennepin County Government Center in Minneapolis.

Graffiti art adorns plywood barriers erected outside a building in Minneapolis, near the Hennepin County Government Center where the trial of Derek Chauvin was held. The messages, including "No Justice No Peace," "BLM," and "Say Their Names," reflect the widespread protests and calls for racial justice that followed the murder of George Floyd in May 2020. The artwork served as a public expression of grief, anger, and demands for accountability during a period of intense civil unrest and national attention on police brutality.
