Description

A complex memorial site focused on Black Lives Matter and victims of gun violence. This site was created on July 4, 2020 and has been maintained on at least a weekly basis since that time. Images show an altar site, many wheat paste posters, and installations, both in the underpass and on the retaining wall. This is located across the street from The P.O. Box Collective.
