Title

Stop The Violence mural

Coverage

Germantown, Philadelphia, PA

Description

Located on a private residence and commissioned by the mother of a young Black man who was killed by the police. This mural depicts a large central portrait of a Black man with angel wings. He is wearing a Cincinnati Reds cap. He is surrounded by balloons of multiple colors with the names of individuals who were killed by gun violence. These include names such as Trayvon Martin and George Floyd, but also MLK and Malcom X. JFK is also included, making the message one about gun violence more broadly. Text across the top of the mural reads "We can give BLM Hope only if we Stop the Violence against aach other."
