Artists and volunteers descended on a basketball court in a historically Black neighborhood of Annapolis, Maryland, to paint a 7,000-square-foot mural of Breonna Taylor over the Fourth of July weekend.
The project was led by Annapolis-based Future History Now, a non-profit art collective that creates murals with youth facing adversity in underserved communities, according to their website.
"Though the mural was not specifically intended to be painted during the Fourth of July weekend, the timing made Gibb and the artists reflect that not everybody experiences the same freedoms in America, Gibb said. Ten teaching artists, approximately 40 volunteers and 15 to 30 youths painted the mural at Chambers Park this weekend, Huntington said.
