A Minnesota National Guard vehicle stands on a street near the Midtown Exchange in south Minneapolis as Minneapolis firefighters work amid smoke at daybreak on May 30, 2020. The photograph was made during the unrest that followed the killing of George Floyd, when fires and heavy emergency response affected commercial corridors across the city. The Midtown Exchange, a large mixed-use redevelopment of the historic Sears, Roebuck and Company building, is visible in the area behind the response.

Photo taken in May 2020.
