Did You Know?
For two months in 2020, the faces of Black citizens killed by police were projected on a monument to Confederate General Robert E. Lee.Description
This projection, part of a protest in Richmond in 2020, shows the face of Michael Brown, an unarmed Black eighteen year old who was shot and killed by Darren Wilson, a white police officer, in Ferguson, Missouri, on August 9, 2014. That November, a grand jury declined to indict the officer. The following March, the Justice Department cited Ferguson for constitutional violations and recommended that the city overhaul its criminal justice system.- 2020-2021Kris Graves (the artist) [1982-], New York, NY2021(Sasha Wolf Projects, New York, NY)June 7, 2021The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH
