Black Lives Still Matter at El Norteno.

Black Lives Still Matter at El Norteno.

4000 East Lake Street, Minneapolis, MN 55406

Initially, a small sign reading "Black Lives Matter" was in the window of this restaurant. (It is included in this database, identifier UAM-GF_0039). Four large and two small panels of plywood later covered that window, and five others, to protect the restaurant from looting and violence. What was originally a small sign therefore gave way to a multi-paneled work, larger in size and using two languages (English and Spanish). The message did not change, though; it only grew: Black Lives Matter. The restaurant is closed indefinitely.
