Five Years After George Floyd
May 25, 2025, marks five years since the murder of George Floyd—a moment that sparked a global reckoning and forever changed Minneapolis. As we reflect on this anniversary, the Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder turns to the voices that matter most: South Minneapolis residents, business leaders, and community activists who continue to shape the movement for justice and healing. In this special section, we share their thoughts, frustrations, hopes, and visions for what comes next. Their words are a reminder that the pursuit of justice is ongoing—and rooted right here in community.

Each week throughout 2025, space in these pages will be given to organizations working to end racial injustice across the state. We hope that these monologues spark policy changes for an equitable Minnesota.
