Humanity Should Be Our Race. Love Should Be Our Religion.

Columbus, Ohio, USA

Painted mural shows an earth in the upper left corner. Text along the earth's left side reads "Together We Rise." The background has diagonal multicolored stripes. Along the bottom is a white rectangle reading "Humanity Should Be Our Race Love Should Be Our Religion." Above the rectangle are faceless figures of varying skin tone. One is wearing a uniform hat. Two black silhouettes are holding up signs. One reads "Black Lives Matter" with a portrait of George Floyd. The other reads "Nobody Is FREE Until We ALL Are Free. #BLM."

A painted panel to the right has abstract shapes and "Isaiah 1:17" in small black text in the upper left corner.

From the contributor: "My wife and I went downtown to photograph the protest art as we knew that it would not last (for a variety of reasons). The military was still on the streets, a curfew was still in place, and police were still assaulting innocent protestors. Columbus is the capitol of Ohio, so much of this was around the capitol building."
