It's Bigger Than Black-N-White
Two murals on plywood boards. The plywood board on the door seems to be a partial view of a leafless tree. The left mural features a Black woman surrounded by swirling blue and purple colors. "Respect Black Women" is written next to her. The right mural features a portrait of George Floyd's face. Below his face is written, "It's Bigger Than Black-N-White." Flanking either side of him are protesters holding signs with various messages, including "Vote," "Know Your Laws," "Change is Here," "God's Plan," and "Over come." A skyline of Minneapolis in flames is to the left of him. To the right is the message "R.I.P George Floyd" with a crown on the 'G.' The work is signed #KingKuntaKollection 2020.
