"Use Your White Privilege!"

"Use Your White Privilege!"

3759 Chicago Avenue, Minneapolis, MN, USA

A painted plywood sign leaning against a wrought iron fence is coated in a wash of black paint. Pink and red paint carefully outlines the text, which reads: "Use your white privilege to dismantle the system! Black Lives Matter"

The location in which George Floyd was murdered by the Minneapolis Police Department has since been transformed into a memorial. The zone, regarded as "George Floyd Square," is filled with memorial tributes to Floyd. Residents from the neighborhood maintain that the streets remain barricaded off in order to protect the area from traffic.
