Artwork
For this Oakland chalk I made a list of about 1200 names of people killed by the police in the US in the last 10 years. There are actually about 10,000 and I hope to get the whole list one day soon and make a poster. We only got through about 100 names before the artwork was full. The names spilled out into the surrounding area.
I used our friend and fellow chalker, Monique, as the model. As I write about earlier in this book, Moe was murdered. It was a little tribute to her revolutionary spirit as well as to all the people who were killed by police. Oakland has a lot of losses.
The police came by and photographed the chalk. I asked them if they’d like to add any names but they said “No.”
The Chalkers – It was a little bit of a reunion of the original Oakland crew. From left front: Jonathan, Laleh, ?, Nyisha. Rear from left: Running Wolf, Foxx, Me, Scooby and Danielle.
Me with my Attorney friend, Dennis Roberts, and Xen Davis.
