Gordon Parks High School: the youth are watchin

1212 University Ave

A plywood board painted with a white base coat covers a window of George Parks High School. Stylized, blocky letters spell out the message:

"JUSTICE 4
RALPH BELL
GEORGE FLOYD
AHMAUD ARBERY
BREONNA TAYLOR

THE YOUTH ARE WATCHIN'. "

These are the names of black victims of police brutality and systemic racism in state violence. It reminds us that this movement is not just about George Floyd. It is for all the victims. It also reminds us that the youth are watching! They are looking for accountability!
