Recommended Posts

Really makes the gushing propaganda sorry "news"  storys like this crap all that more funny 

This is what the 2nd body carted out of there and like the 6th shooting in the hallowed ground lmfao 

The intersection of 38th Street and Chicago Avenue in South Minneapolis is the site of George Floyd's death and has become a gathering place for people to pay their respects and remember him. It is an important space for racial healing and justice among many members of the community and visitors from all over. This area, also called George Floyd Square, pays tribute to his life and is a powerful way for the Minneapolis community to rally around the importance of Black lives.

Please check the official George Floyd Square Instagram account for up-to-date information before visiting.

The area is filled with ways to memorialize the life of George Floyd and other victims of police brutality. You will find several tribute spaces signified by sculptures, murals, and paintings.

Murals

Two murals reside in this space. One is the well-known tribute mural created by a group of community artists, Cadex Herrera, Greta McLain, and Xena Goldman. It can be found on the side of the Cup Foods grocery store and the other is a black and white portrait of George Floyd called "Icon of a Revolution" and was painted by artist Peyton Scott Russell.

Fist Sculpture

Found at the center of the intersection of 38th and Chicago, this raised fist is surrounded by colorful flowers, photos of Floyd and signs about the movement.

Say Their Names Cemetery

Created by Anna Barber and Connor White, this symbolic cemetery displays headstones with the names of 100 Black people who lost their lives at the hands of the police. It is located on 37th Street and Park Avenue South.
