On June 4th, 2020, A community of local Milwaukee Artists organized and commissioned a Mural triptych in honor of the tragic deaths of George Floyd and Trayvon Martin at the hands of police brutality. The project was led by local Mixed Media/Visual Artist Domonique Whitehorse. The murals were painted, free hand, using Graffiti cans. The paint was sprayed, covering all 3 walls of the building. The final piece took roughly 7 hours to complete.  Domonique spoke about how the Black Lives Matter #BLM movement inspired him to organize a protest on behalf of those fallen victim of unjust acts. Domonique also mentioned the importance of #Peaceful #Protest without rioting and looting in order to avoid destruction of property with in the community. 

Domonique has been creating Art since the age of 15 years old. He works with a variety of non-profit organizations throughout the Milwaukee Community. The City of Milwaukee has long been the most segregated city in the United States. Domonique stressed the importance of using Art to send a positive message in order to unite people. He also reiterated that this project was a Community effort. It was deeply impactful to see people of various ethnicities and communities participate in the creation of this beautiful mural. The Mural can be found on the busy corner of East North Avenue and North Holton Street in Milwaukee’s Northside.
