Uptown Minneapolis: “Revolution” Graffiti and George Floyd Memorial

Graffiti art, including the words "Revolution" and "George Floyd," adorns a building wall in Uptown Minneapolis. This artwork emerged in the wake of George Floyd's murder in May 2020, a period of significant protests and civil unrest in the city. The location, at the intersection of Lake Street and Hennepin Avenue, became a focal point for community expression and remembrance during this time. The graffiti serves as a visual testament to the events and the ongoing dialogue surrounding racial justice and police brutality.
