State Theatre, Downtown Minneapolis, boarded up, MLK quote

Boarded State Theatre in downtown Minneapolis with an MLK quote on the marquee, June 2020.
The State Theatre in downtown Minneapolis is boarded over beneath its marquee, which displays the Martin Luther King Jr. quote, “The time is always right to do what is right.” The plywood covering the entrance and street-level windows reflects protective measures taken by many Minneapolis businesses in early June 2020 after the murder of George Floyd. Opened in 1921, the theater is a historic performing arts venue and former movie palace on Hennepin Avenue.
