The additions to the previous mural are extensive. The formerly white space below the original mural is now filled with vibrant imagery: foliage and greenery as a budding tree grows from the leftmost corner, blossoms bloom along the base of the mural, and a red skull with blue teeth sits in the rightmost corner.

What was formerly unpainted plywood above the "Black Trans Lives Matter" text is now painted as a tribute to Eric Garner. A portrait of a smiling Garner is now on the leftmost corner. Next to his face, a white swatch of paint interrupts the red background to state, in fully-capitalized lettering: "Eric Garner Died Thursday July 17th 2014 (Choke Hold) by NYPD." A blue circle reads "RIP" next to his final words: "I Can't Breathe" and "It Is Never My Intention to Harm Anyone". With multiple officers pinning him down, Garner repeated the words "I can't breathe" 11 times while lying face down on the sidewalk. o indictments resulted from Garner's murder, despite the chokehold that he was placed in at the time of his arrest being a prohibited hold.]]>
