Title
Tamir Rice Memorial and Graffiti at City Hall Park
Coverage
City Hall Park, New York City, NY, USA
Description
A candle memorial with pillows, a poster, markers, flowers, and images of Tamir Rice. Above the memorial is a cardboard sign reading "Happy Birthday Tamir Rice" in flowing script. Around the memorial are other signs such as "Defund and Divest" and piles of water bottles for protesters.
These were part of a month-long protest encampment at New York City's City Hall Park Area, organized by Vocal New York. The protesters lived and slept in front of the mayor office for one month, demanding that 1 billion dollars be removed from the New York City Police Department annual budget. During that month (June 22 - July 22, 2020) protesters defaced buildings, sidewalks, and subway entrances. Graffiti was a tool for their messages.
