On Monday, May 25th a Black man was killed at the hands of Minneapolis police officers on the corner of 38th street and Chicago Avenue here in South Minneapolis. His name is George Floyd. As our community reacts, KRSM is committed to lifting up authentic voices from our neighborhoods and sharing reflections on the systemic white supremacy that led to this moment. This page will serve as an online archive of that coverage.
