Flowers for the Future
On an all-white background, the poster depicts a black-and-white illustration of a Black child seated to the left and a white police officer in full riot gear to the right.
Crosslegged, the child has short curly hair and is dressed simply in an all-white short sleeve shirt and shorts. On the ground near the child's right hand are multiple crayons, which the child has used to draw flowers and a heart that reads "BLM" for Black Lives Matter. The crayons and the child's drawings offer the only pop of color in the image. The child extends their left hand up, offering to the police officer a hand drawn yellow flower with a simple green stem.

A cardboard sign attached to a street sign reads "Reclaim A Sense of Space." The text is written in white paint on a black background. The main text appears on the bottom of the sign. Above this text a flower and leaves appear. The left leaf includes the text "healing", the flower "remember," and the right leaf "community." Above the flower, seeds float, also including the text "light," "care," "work," and "listen." The flower appears to be a dandelion. On the right side of the sign the hashtags "#seedingsovereignty" and "educationasreparation" are written in white.
