Reed explained that "it's clear the city picks and chooses who is important,” since Minneapolis is pushing funding for businesses following Operation Metro Surge, while the city has ignored how businesses in George Floyd Square have suffered for years. He also talked about how he and eight other business owners are suing the city for allowing gangs and activists to take over the area, which consequently ruined his business.Healy, his attorney, pointed out that “ultimately, it's the Minneapolis City Council and Mayor Frey who are responsible" for allowing traffic to be blocked for more than a year as the area became "a war zone" following George Floyd's death.Support the show
Design students in Minnesota can submit ideas for a future George Floyd memorial near the intersection of 38th and Chicago in Minneapolis. Floyd's aunt, Angela Harrelson said in a statement about the contest, “when it comes to honoring George's legacy, we're calling on the best of the best to help bring that vision to life.” After Floyd was murdered by police in 2020, the site became an organic memorial, as people made art and left offerings there. Late last year, the Minneapolis city council approved a plan to reconstruct the area known as George Floyd Square. The student design contest will run until mid-May. One or more of the winning designs could become a permanent installation. Two of the people behind the design competition joined Minnesota Now host Nina Moini. Niall-Julian Universe is with the nonprofit Rise and Remember, and Anjali Ganapathy is director of undergraduate studies in architecture at the University of Minnesota.
