Signs outside the newly cleared Winston Smith Protest.

Memorial signs for Winston Smith and Deona Marie Knajdek are placed near barricades at the former Seven Points Mall site in Minneapolis. These signs, some reading "Winston Smith Was Assassinated" and "This Is A Peace Garden NO Alcohol," were part of a memorial that emerged following protests and unrest in the city. The site has been the subject of ongoing activism and remembrance, particularly after the killing of Winston Smith by private security forces in June 2021.
