Minneapolis Protest Sign: We Will Not Be Silent

We will not be silent protest sign
We will not be silent protest sign.

A handmade sign reading "We will not be silent so that you can remain comfortable!" is affixed to security fencing at the intersection of Lake Street and Girard Avenue in Minneapolis. This location became a memorial site following the deaths of Winston Smith and Deona Marie, and the sign reflects the sentiment of ongoing protest and a refusal to accept complacency in the face of injustice.
