Lake Street Loves
A poster reading "Lake Street Loves" along with a poem by Alaa Haasan. The poem is titled, "Lonely, Lonely," and reads as follows:
My soul dances like a butterfly
Cheerful and smiling
Didn't realize there's no tomorrow
Can't believe that this is the end
I lost my delight suddenly
Love and Loneliness is central.
Central Means all in all
Everything is lost
No more delight
No more butterflies
I can say that this is my end
The end of my soul
The end of everything
No more love, all is lost
There is a lonely life just started.

RIP Floyd - We Love Lake Street
George Perry Floyd (October 14, 1973 - May 25, 2020) was a 46-year-old Black American man who was murdered by former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin after Chauvin knelt on Floyd’s neck for nearly 9 minutes in the Powderhorn neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota on May 25, 2020. Floyd’s murder sparked an international movement for Black Lives Matter, the largest civil rights movement of the century. On March 12, 2021, the city of Minneapolis agreed to pay $27 million to settle a wrongful death lawsuit brought by Floyd's family. On June 25, 2021, Chauvin was sentenced to 22.5 years in prison for his crimes.
Mural with blue and green background and black bubble letters, "RIP Floyd," "BLM," and "We," a black heart, "LAKE STREET."
