Wendy’s on 26th Ave S, Fireworks, Minneapolis Uprising

Fireworks illuminate the sky above a Wendy's restaurant on 26th Avenue South in Minneapolis during the protests that followed the death of George Floyd. This photograph was taken on May 27, 2020, the second day of widespread protests across the city. These protests addressed systemic racism and police brutality, drawing national and international attention to Minneapolis. The fast-food establishment, a common feature of urban commercial corridors, served as a backdrop to the intense public expression of grief and anger.
