Minneapolis: American Outfitters boarded, “For Sale” sign, Amir Locke graffiti
February 2022 — The former American Outfitters store in downtown Minneapolis is boarded up, with a "For Sale" sign visible in the window. Graffiti honoring Amir Locke, who was killed by Minneapolis police in February 2022, is spray-painted on the plywood covering the adjacent storefront. The "Black Lives Matter" message on the far left storefront, along with the graffiti, indicates the building's location was a site of protest and remembrance following Locke's death and broader social justice movements.
