Title
America's State Of Emergency
Coverage
Columbus, Ohio, USA
Description
Mural on wallpapered plywood panels. There are four main components to the mural. The first is Lady Justice afflicted with gas coming from a box labelled "Riot Control." The second component is a Black child in all white, breaking the emergency glass with the torch from Lady Liberty. The third component is a large white dove with an olive branch in its beak. The bird's beak and feet are covered in multicolored circles. The final component of the mural is a young Black boy washing out Lady Liberty's eyes, which were tear gassed.

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."
