Crowds took to the streets for a third night in a row last night in reaction to the death of George Floyd. Protesters set fire to the Minneapolis Police Department's Third Precinct headquarters and destruction stretched to St. Paul's East Side.

And early this morning, The Hexagon Bar, a Minneapolis music and nightlife landmark since 1934, was burned to an empty shell.

You can follow MPR News for coverage of breaking news in this ongoing crisis (and big thanks to Tim Nelson for checking in with us live from the streets), but in the meantime, let's put together a set of music in honor of our Twin Cities that are experiencing painful unrest right now.
