Minneapolis to name street for George Floyd
The intersection where George Floyd died in Minneapolis police custody, will be named in his honor, the city announced.

A part of Chicago Avenue and East 38th Street, the intersection where George Floyd died in Minneapolis police custody, will be named in his honor.
Demonstrators and well-wishers have adorned it with flowers and notes since the father of five died after being detained there, where one officer put a knee on his neck for nearly nine minutes.
The city will refer to the blocks between 37th and 39th streets as George Perry Floyd Jr. Place, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
The City Council approved the renaming Friday, with Mayor Jacob Frey’s office confirming he will sign off on the change.
Minneapolis had planned to reopen 38th Street this summer, but decided not to when activists said they wanted it left as a memorial.
