Шаблон:Multiple image

Inspired by Washington, D.C.'s Black Lives Matter Plaza, the Шаблон:Convert mural spanned an entire block,[1] and had "detailed historic facts about the treatment of minorities in Portland" written in smaller text within individual letters.[2] The following text appeared within the letter "B": Шаблон:Quote

Written on the letter "A" was "1923 — This neighborhood is 100% White. Over 9,000 belong to the KKK. The state bans Japanese and Chinese immigrants from owning property". A statement about when voters changed the Constitution of Oregon to eliminate the original ban on Black residents (2001) was written on one of the "T" letters, and another letter displayed the text "In 1988, PDX banks make only 9 mortgage loans in the district from Irvington to Woodlawn."[2]

Lloyd did not seek permission to paint the mural, and city officials did not plan to remove the artwork, as of June 25.[1] He said of his work: Шаблон:Quote

The mural was vandalized in July 2020.[3][4]
