Pro Bono Work by Maslon Attorneys Helps Bring Lake Street Book Project to Life

October 8, 2021

Maslon Partners Terri Krivosha and Susan Markey, with help from summer associate Jessica Karp, provided pro bono legal assistance in the creation of Lake Street Speaks, a new commemorative art book highlighting the street murals that emerged in Minneapolis in the wake of George Floyd's killing and protests.

Following Floyd's murder, photographer and former business owner Susan B. Shields set out to immortalize the temporary murals created along Lake Street—images that she felt expressed the community's pain, anger, and hope. She teamed up with Rashaunea Ambers-Winston, a 20-year-old college student, to include her poetry, which shares the pain and sadness she has experienced growing up African American in north Minneapolis. All of the proceeds will be shared among four nonprofits that serve communities of color.

For more information or to purchase the book, go to Lake Street Speaks.
