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.

Black Women Will Always Be Too Loud
Three posters read “Black Women Will Always Be Too Loud For A World That Never Intended To Listen To Them”. The posters are red with black lettering, while the words ‘Too Loud’ are highlighted in yellow writing that matches the painted wall behind them. In the center of the poster is a Black woman with her eyes closed and her mouth open as she speaks, she wears hoop earrings. Next to the poster a sign is leaned against the scene that says “Black Women Matter Say Her Name”.

All Mothers Were Summoned When He Called Out For His
George Perry Floyd (October 14, 1973 - May 25, 2020) was a 46-year-old Black American man who was murdered by former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin after Chauvin knelt on Floyd’s neck for nearly 9 minutes in the Powderhorn neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota on May 25, 2020. Floyd’s murder sparked an international movement for Black Lives Matter, the largest civil rights movement of the century. On March 12, 2021, the city of Minneapolis agreed to pay $27 million to settle a wrongful death lawsuit brought by Floyd's family. On June 25, 2021, Chauvin was sentenced to 22.5 years in prison for his crimes.
Mural with two Black women and a young girl. One woman is pregnant, wearing red and holding a peace sign. The other with the young girl wearing green and white respectively. "All Mothers Were Summoned When He Called Out For His." in white text in the center. "Community Rooted Together" at the bottom.
