Graffiti on new post office in Minneapolis George Floyd.

The Lake Street Post Office in Minneapolis, a vital community hub, reopened with a message of resilience painted on its exterior: "WE ARE BACK TO SERVE YOU!". The building had been damaged by fire during the protests that followed the murder of George Floyd on May 25, 2020. The graffiti, accompanied by symbols of a mail envelope and a heart, signifies the community's determination to rebuild and continue serving its residents.
