One of the four murals along the Detroit Avenue underpass in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Captures elements of the 1921 Tulsa Massacre and the 2020s BLM movement. Shows hands coming together in a circle, like you might see a team do before a game. The main colors are a swirl of green, blue, black, white and gray, with clips of headlines and newspaper articles.

Post from Young MC: I HAVE INFORMED MY AGENTS THAT I WILL NOT BE PERFORMING AT THE FREEDOM 250 EVENT. The artists were never told about any political involvement with the event. And despite the claims by the organizers that the event is non-partisan, SPIN magazine describes it as Trump-backed". I hope to perform in D.C. in the near future at an event that is not so politically charged.

Rhianna in a red, white and blue dress constructed as if it was a work of art based on flowers. She looks like an intricate ceramic centerpiece. And I'm not doing her justice.

A mural of a 21st Century Black American couple painted on the back of a brick building that probably dates to the 19th Century. The couple is rendered in shades of black and gray; they're on a striking bright blue background; and the man grips a large fork in his hand which is gray outlined in green. The pose of the couple is a nod to the famous "American Gothic" painting (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Gothic), but the demeanor of the Black couple is more open and less provincial.

Department of Education headquarters in 2008 with the Bush Administration "No Child Left Behind" schoolhouse entrance. the structure is bright red in the shape of the 'one room schoolhouse' in an attempt to be a symbol of nostalgia for America's olden days. (Must note that the olden days had very limited educational opportunities for the poor, minorities, and girls.) The structure looks ridiculous in front of the massive federal Dept of Ed building, which is built with thick brown concrete.
