The last few days have been surreal. The protests that started in Minneapolis over the death of George Floyd have continued daily in many cities, including Chicago. Dozens of major cities have implemented curfews because while the protests have been overwhelmingly peaceful during the day many cities are experiencing violence and looting at night. On Monday evening and Tuesday afternoon those protests came to Wrigley Field.
It’s been striking to see Wrigley Field and Wrigleyville as the frame for this historical moment and I wanted to share some of the images I’ve taken walking around the neighborhood the last 24 hours.
