Description
Power To The People is painted in red, black, and white on the pavement. The "O" in Power is painted in red.
Detroit’s mural was planned, financed, designed, and created within one week, said Rochelle Riley, Director of Arts and Culture for the City of Detroit. The nonprofit Detroit Heals Detroit, which helps youth deal with trauma, approached Riley about creating a Black Lives Matter mural like other cities. Ten students from the group along with 10 other Detroit Public School students agreed to be judges on what the art should look like as well as select what artist would design the work.
The mural is funded by the Knight Foundation, Bedrock, Motor City Paint and Eastern Market Corp., Murals in the Market, General Motors, Mint Artist Guild and University Prep.
