Workers using front-end loaders and brooms arrived just before 5 a.m. and cleared the intersection where Floyd was killed, which is informally known as George Floyd Square, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported. The intersection has been closed to traffic since Floyd’s death on May 25, 2020, and some residents and businesses have expressed frustration that it has been closed for so long. The tribute at the square sprang up organically in the days after Floyd’s death. City officials didn’t immediately respond to an email Tuesday seeking comment on the activists closing down the intersection again. Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading...
