George Floyd Square gives particular instructions for white visitors

Published



A sign welcoming people to the Minneapolis intersection where George Floyd was killed gives white visitors particular instructions on how to behave while in the area.

The poster board sign appears near the intersection of 38th Street and Chicago Avenue, now memorialized as George Floyd Square after the 46-year-old black man was killed there by former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin. It includes general instructions to visitors entering the “sacred space for community, public grief, and protest” and adds a separate set of instructions “for white people in particular.”
