Downtown Minneapolis Curfew Billboards, George Floyd Unrest

Digital billboards in downtown Minneapolis display a 10:00 p.m. Twin Cities curfew message, urging residents to stay home. This public safety directive was issued in the aftermath of widespread protests and civil unrest that followed the May 25, 2020 death of George Floyd. The empty streets, including the area near Target Center on S 7th Street, reflect the impact of the curfew on the typically bustling urban environment. These messages served as a critical communication tool during a period of heightened tension and efforts to restore public order in the city.
