content: Tenth (10) of twelve (12) painted plywood panels from the Resurrection City mural that was created and displayed in the encampment on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. during the summer of 1968. Depicted along the top edge of this panel is text in green paint. The complete phrase is: "I serve a risen savior who died / and was crucified so I might / have eternal life." The majority of the phrase is on this panel, although the text starts on the panel on the left and finishes on the panel on the right. At the center of this panel is a large red heart with text painted inside in red paint: "John the catholic / Martin the King / Robert the Samaritan / ... they bled / so we may live / and love." Around the heart is other text painted in green, black and yellow. This segment is from the lower right corner, third from the right.
