A new exhibit at Mill City Museum examines that long year in the Twin Cities from the murder of George Floyd on May 25, 2020, to the Chauvin trial with a guilty verdict on April 20, 2021, as documented in 54 images by diverse professional, community and student photographers. The goal is to highlight the people and events that changed the region and showcases some of the powerful images created during that time.
On April 1, an opening reception for Documenting a Reckoning will include a panel discussion led by Brent Lewis, New York Times photo editor and exhibit juror with Octavio Jones, freelance photographer, Gene Garvin, community photographer and others whose work is featured in the exhibit. The reception also commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Hubbard School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Hors d’oeuvres and cash bar will be available.
The exhibit runs March 17-June 5. The Mill City Museum is located at 704 S 2nd Street.
Documenting a Reckoning: The Murder of George Floyd is presented by the Hubbard School of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Minnesota and was previously on view at the Elmer L. Andersen Library.
