Burned strip mall rubble on Lake Street in Minneapolis after fires during the May 2020 unrest.

The burned remains of a strip mall on Lake Street in Minneapolis fill the foreground, with piles of brick, twisted metal, and collapsed roofing left after a fire. A Dollar General sign is still visible on one surviving section of the commercial building behind the rubble. The damage dates to the unrest and protests that followed the killing of George Floyd in May 2020, when multiple businesses along the Lake Street corridor were burned or destroyed.

Photo taken in June 2020.
