Justice for Manny
This mural depicts a portrait of Manuel Ellis, a Black man who is a victim of police brutality. He is painted in shades of blue, orange, green, brown, and yellow. Around Manny's head are circles, which are similar to halos. To the left of the portrait the message "Justice for Manny" is written in black letters in blue boxes.

Manuel (Manny) Ellis was murdered by Tacoma Police on March 3, 2020. The police and sheriff's department insisted Manny died from drugs and a heart issue, but the medical examiner's report ruled it homicide by hypoxia due to physical restraint (e.g. the police strangled him to death). Witnesses videotaped the incident, observing that Manny was tasered, beaten, hogtied, held to the ground under an officer's knee, and had a spit hood put over his head. The Washington State Office of the Attorney General charged the officers on May 27, 2021. The officers posted bail the next day.

Black Lives Matter Plywood Mural
A multi-panel plywood mural in teal and blue and wheatpasted with portraits of those murdered by police. George Floyd, Sandra Bland, David McAtee, Charleena Lyles, Manuel Ellis, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, and Ahmaud Arbery are included. The mural also includes a photograph of the last time the neighborhood had boarded windows. This occurred in June 1942 during the forced removal and incarceration of all west coast Japanese Americans by the US government.
Erin Shigaki and Scott Méxcal with community members
Note from Erin Shigaki on May 30, 2022: "Much of this mural is still up (all portraits - which we have repaired 3-4 times to date), as the Chinatown International District neighborhood is one of the most econmically fragile in Seattle and many shop owners continue to experience an uptick in break-ins and vandalism. This uptick began at the onset of the COVID19 pandemic when anti-Asian xenophobic rhetoric was spread by Trump and in a historically repeating pattern, eagerly digested by many. When our neighborhood was boarded up, we experienced a shocking reminder of how the very building and neighborhood had boarded up in 1942 after all Japanese Americans on the west coast (including my family) were mass incarcerated without due process of law."
