Minneapolis Mourns George Floyd, Begins To Rebuild City: Photos

MINNEAPOLIS — Monday will mark two weeks since George Floyd died. His death, and the violent protests that erupted across the city, made for some of the most traumatic moments in Minneapolis' history.

The murals and memorial at 38th Street and Chicago Avenue — where Floyd was arrested on Memorial Day — are allowing residents to publicly mourn and grieve the 46-year-old man whose life was cut short.

Community leaders and elected officials are now hoping to channel the shared anger and sadness over Floyd's death into action. Gov. Tim Walz says that the increase of peace and safety in the streets this week has allowed for real change to begin.

"Minnesotans need more than ever to lean on their neighbors, show up for their communities, and add their voice to this urgent conversation on addressing our systemic problems," Walz said in a statement.

"Yet they’ve made those sacrifices to stay home through the curfew to help keep our neighborhoods safe. We’re incredibly grateful that Minnesotans are working with us so we can focus our conversation and energy on justice for George Floyd."
