In summer and fall of 2000, photographer Wing Young Huie displayed 675 black and white images taken along Lake Street in Minneapolis along six miles of the same street, transforming it into one of the largest photography exhibitions ever displayed in a public space.

Lake Street USA is the story of how one photographer gathered all the constituents of an unidentified whole into a joint venture. It's the moment of that venture becoming a community; identifying itself, becoming conscious of itself, representing itself...Out of that understanding this community created something all its own, a six-mile long strip of never-ending stories, 675 moments of freedom, world-access to one America on its way to becoming another America.
Vince Leo, Chair of Media Arts at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, in an essay for the Lake Street USA website.
