Peace Protest Police
A black-and-white mural featuring three officers in riot gear with their shields lined up to create a barrier. The officers look around their shields to the foreground. On the front of the barrier, a Black child with an afro has painted a bright pink symbol of a peace sign with a raised fist in the center. The child holds a paintbrush in his right hand and raises his left fist alongside his symbol.

Too Many of You
On a fully black background, a white profile of a person with an afro is overlaid with stylized, fully-capitalized bubble lettering that reads "Mother, Mother there's too many of you crying // Brother, brother, brother, there's too many of you dying". The artist's signature, Ms.Wrong, is in the lower right corner of the mural.

The text is derived from the 1971 Marvin Gaye song "What's Going On"

The text overlaying the right profile reads: "Love Black Boys Even When They Become Men" in the same style.
