"Former Minneapolis restaurant Gandhi Mahal made national headlines in May of 2020 when owner Ruhel Islam, upon learning that his restaurant was burning in the wake of the murder of George Floyd, uttered a moving statement: “Let my building burn. Justice needs to be served, put those officers in jail.” Long a local hub for community, sustainable food, and progressive politics, Gandhi Mahal became an international symbol of solidarity and justice, a voice affirming the value of human life over property." - Justine Jones
