The intersection where a Minneapolis police officer murdered George Floyd five years ago Sunday has an uncertain future. The memorial site has become a meeting place for activists, but some businesses say the corner is trapped in time.
As NPR's Meg Anderson writes:
The intersection where he died is now called George Floyd Square. A sculpture of a fist towers over a garden in the middle of the road. There are murals and graffiti everywhere. The ground where Floyd died is covered with flowers and faded stuffed animals. The street is painted with the names of the many others killed by police.
For some, this is a vital community hub, a space that must be preserved. For others, the intersection feels trapped in its darkest day. That disagreement has meant this corner has remained caught in the middle of a city reckoning with its past and uncertain about its future.
