Plans moving forward for commemorative street name for George Floyd on Chicago Avenue

The City of Minneapolis took a step toward adding a commemorative street name to posthumously honor George Floyd at the intersection where he was arrested by Minneapolis police and died.

The store reopened in June for a day, then closed again out of respect for Floyd. 

However, not everyone is happy about the move. Some local activists told FOX 9 the store should remain closed and held a protest outside the store later in the afternoon.
