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.

This documentation includes "ICE OUT" posters and a portrait of Silverio Villegas Gonzalez. The text on the cardboard portrait reads "Silverio Villegas Gonzalez | Killed by ICE after dropping his kids off at school | We miss you | September 12, 2025.

Posters and signs about ICE activity join many posters and artworks relating to Black Lives Matter, the oppression of Palestine, and other situations involving state violence.
