Speedway Gas Station with Graffiti, 38th & Chicago, Minneapolis

The Speedway gas station at 38th Street and Chicago Avenue in Minneapolis is covered in graffiti. Following the murder of George Floyd in May 2020, this location, situated within what became known as George Floyd Square, transformed into a significant community gathering space. The station was subsequently renamed "The People's Way" and served as a site for daily community meetings and expression. The extensive graffiti and messages adorning its walls and pumps reflect its role as a place of remembrance and ongoing protest.
