These are the names of unarmed BIPOC who were killed by the police.
This painting was completed before Daunte Demetrius Wright was killed. I wish to acknowledge him here with an excerpt from public scholar Renée Ater's website where she has meticulously cataloged all of the names of unarmed BIPOC killed by police:
"Daunte Demetrius Wright, October 27, 2000 - April 11, 2021
Brooklyn Center, Minnesota
Shot: Brooklyn Center Police Officer, April 11, 2021"
