There is writing and spray paint on a wall which reads “Stop Silencing Black Voices !!!” “I Stand Against Racism” “BLM” and a duct taped hand that is giving the middle finger over the words. There is also a drawing of the black power fist and a peace sign.
On the fence there are multiple posters that read “Black Dollar$ [sic] Matter” and there is a black hand that is in a fist holding onto money and within the hand is a depiction of Africa. Next to this poster are photos of those who were victims of police brutality that are placed on a red poster, and it reads “Say Their Names The Love Train was here”
There is a caution tape on the fence that reads “Black Lives Matter.”
There is a diorama of the white house that is behind a fence and a soldier on top of it. Underneath the ‘White House’ is a bunker baby and there is a bush next to this figure of a baby. On the base of the diorama reads "2020 Fearless Girls"

Activist Nadine Seiler played a crucial role in protecting and caring for the fence, along with Karen Irwin and other activists in a loosely-formed group informally known as the "Guardians of the Fence." Nadine Seiler and Aliza Leventhal systematically documented the fence over the course of months, and Seiler became the de facto curator of the fence.
