George Floyd Square barricades at 37th and Chicago Ave

Barricades at George Floyd Square in Minneapolis, a protest site.
Barricades at the intersection of 37th Street and Chicago Avenue in Minneapolis, a site that became known as George Floyd Square. These barriers were erected by protesters following the murder of George Floyd in May 2020, transforming the area into a space for community gathering and protest. The city's attempts to remove the barricades to reopen the street to traffic were met with resistance, leading to the reinstallation of these temporary structures. The square served as a focal point for activism and remembrance in the months following Floyd's death.
