“Caution: Black Child at Play”
Please be mindful of dreams, ambition, and joy.
“Black children are often faced with enduring many challenges growing up in America. The luxury to dream should be extended to every single child and never stolen based on the color of one’s skin.
This mural depicts the carefree spirit of a child. Its playfulness and bursts of color capture a child’s limitless imagination, while also delivering the message: “Black children deserve to be just that; a child.”
— Shade Pratt who painted this mural in her hometown of Minneapolis following George Floyd’s death in the city weeks prior.
