But in 2020, George Floyd's murder by the city's police left many Americans stunned and wondering, "How could this hap­pen in Minneapolis?" To Ellis, the real question is: What made people think it couldn't?The Minneapolis Justin Ellis grew up in is not the idealistic metropolis it claims to be.

Black families were systematically cut out of the prosperous neighbor
