Artists and demonstrators have installed several exhibits, paintings, sculptures, and other works of art to memorialize George Floyd, who was murdered by a police officer in 2020, and to visualize racial justice themes.
George Floyd Square, officially George Perry Floyd Square in Minneapolis, is a commemorative name applied to Chicago Avenue between the East 37th and 39th Streets in the Powderhorn neighborhood. George Floyd, a Black man, was murdered there by police officer Derek Chauvin in 2020. The name addition, approved in 2022, is indicated by supplementary signs; businesses along the two blocks retain their Chicago Avenue addresses.
