Minneapolis One Year Later
After sparking global protests over police brutality, George Floyd’s killing has left the city searching for its political, social and economic future.
The sound of gospel fills the neighborhood. It’s coming from outside a church across from Cup Foods, near the corner where, almost one year ago that Sunday, George Floyd was killed.
"We have so much to be thankful for,” a woman preaches into a microphone. Down the block, children pop bubbles as they waft past a gas station sign that bears the words “No Justice, No Streets” instead of prices per gallon. Medicinal herbs and donated flowers fill garden plots. A folding table is stacked with t-shirts bearing Floyd’s face.
