Boarded storefronts at US Bank Plaza in downtown Minneapolis at night.
Boarded storefronts at US Bank Plaza in downtown Minneapolis at night.

Buildings in downtown Minneapolis, including the US Bank Plaza, were boarded up in the aftermath of the Derek Chauvin murder trial. The plywood coverings, visible in this image, were a response to potential unrest following the verdict. Three days after Chauvin was found guilty of murder and manslaughter, the boarding began to be removed, signaling a return to normalcy in the city center. The trial, which stemmed from the death of George Floyd, had sparked widespread protests and a period of intense social and political focus on Minneapolis.
