Boarded storefronts at Cheng's Garden Chinese Restaurant, El Rey, and Subway in a South Minneapolis strip mall are shown on June 11, 2020. Sheets of plywood cover the windows and doors, with hand-painted messages including "POC Owned," "BIPOC Owned," and "George. Say His Name." The businesses were among many in Minneapolis that were boarded up in the weeks after the May 25, 2020 killing of George Floyd, as commercial corridors across the city prepared for damage during protests and unrest.
