America's State Of Emergency

Coverage

Columbus, Ohio, USA

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."
