A Letter From The People...
This mural shows five large notebook pages, with handstyle writing on them. They read "A Letter From The People...
"Fist And Foremost, Rest In Peace George Floyd And All Other Souls That Have Died Unjustly Under The Hands Of THe Government. It Is A Tragedy And We Expect Our Gov To Handle It And Not Let Us Down Like The Many Times You Already Have, Not Just Here In This Country. You Brong Tyranny And Oppression All Over The World And You Flash Propaganda And Lies In Our Face To Make Them Look Like Enemies. You Take Their Opium And You Feed It To Our People As "Medicine." You Take Our Tax $ And You Murder Us And Then You Take Our Tax $ Again To Cover The Lawsuits Settlement...And AQUIT THE MURDERER... There's Only One Kind. Mankind... Love Is Love. We Shall Overcome.
"HOPE. PEACE BE UPON YOU."
"SAY THEIR NAMES"
"Stand For Something Fall For Nothing"
"Violence feeds violence. It's Okay To Be Sad, But Don't Despair, There's Always Hope."
Above the painted pages is a purple background. Along the bottoms is a red background. Someone has written in red spray-paint "The Red Represents Blood Shed" and "Fuck The System!" and "And Fuck A Microchip!" The latter message is written one one of the painted pages.
To the left of the mural is a stencil portrait of George Floyd. Purple graffiti around the portrait reads "RIP George Floyd. You Will Not Die In Vain."
Below the graffiti is a gray outline fist.

From the contributor: "My wife and I went downtown to photograph the protest art as we knew that it would not last (for a variety of reasons). The military was still on the streets, a curfew was still in place, and police were still assaulting innocent protestors. Columbus is the capitol of Ohio, so much of this was around the capitol building."

Humanity Should Be Our Race. Love Should Be Our Religion.
Painted mural shows an earth in the upper left corner. Text along the earth's left side reads "Together We Rise." The background has diagonal multicolored stripes. Along the bottom is a white rectangle reading "Humanity Should Be Our Race Love Should Be Our Religion." Above the rectangle are faceless figures of varying skin tone. One is wearing a uniform hat. Two black silhouettes are holding up signs. One reads "Black Lives Matter" with a portrait of George Floyd. The other reads "Nobody Is FREE Until We ALL Are Free. #BLM."
A painted panel to the right has abstract shapes and "Isaiah 1:17" in small black text in the upper left corner.

O-H-I-O
This mural has four large, neon colored hands forming the letters "O-H-I-O" in ASL. Around the hands are clouds, stars, planets, a heart, and a rocket ship.
From artist's IG:
"So I got the opportunity to paint this wonderful mural over the weekend, ive been out there for 4 days straight watching our community fighting so hard to uplift everyone around them and help people become more aware.
I chose to paint the words
O-H-I-O
In sign language because shows the amount of silence our community has been towards these issues. And we’re all the same aliens living in the same universe ðŸŒ
Thank you so much to Huntington #board41 for commissioning me this project. This is just the start definitely more to come ðŸ™ðŸ¾ If you haven’t please go check out my mural and all the other beautiful artwork at:
41 South High street ✨"
