These photos are of people taking to the streets in Minneapolis during the trial of Derek Chauvin in April, 2021, for the murder of George Floyd, and of the victory celebrations once the verdict, GUILTY, GUILTY, GUILTY! was read. “Derek Chauvin is the first white police officer in the history of Minnesota to be charged and tried in a courtroom for the murder of a Black man, despite that Black, Native, Indigenous, Hispanic, Latinx and Asian people are disproportionately murdered at a higher rate,” wrote photographer Brad Sigal. “We will not rest until we see all four of George Floyd’s killers taken off the streets, and our communities have the power to decide who polices our communities and how our communities are policed,” said Move for Justice News, a group of local Twin Cities photojournalists, some of whom have photographs on this page.
