38th St, Minneapolis: “Abolish MPD” and BLM murals
February 2022 — Murals related to the Black Lives Matter movement and the call to "Abolish MPD" (Minneapolis Police Department) are displayed on a wooden structure on 38th Street in Minneapolis. The "BLM" mural incorporates a rainbow flag, often associated with LGBTQ+ pride, and a tribute to George Floyd, who was murdered by a Minneapolis police officer in May 2020. These artworks emerged in the wake of widespread protests against police brutality and racial injustice that followed Floyd's death. The location on 38th Street is significant as it is near the site of Floyd's murder, which became a focal point for the protests.
