OXFIT - 1040 GRANT ST. SE, SUITE 300, ATLANTA, GA 30315
Black Panther was Chadwick Boseman’s crowning glory as he lost his life to colon cancer on August 28, 2020. Approaching the anniversary of his death, artists Quake and Dizzy painted this mural to commemorate Boseman's legacy with a visual representation of his creative gifts to us all. The pink cape is an homage to his role as James Brown in Get On Up and the painted landscape of fruit to showcase the many fruits of his labor. As Chadwick once said, "You should be the hero in your own story." Still, he remains a hero to many, inviting us all to live out our dreams.
Colon cancer is treatable when detected early on. The Colon Cancer Foundation (CCF) invites you to be a hero by raising awareness and donating to the organization here.

THE LIVERY - MEMORIAL DRIVE SE, ATLANTA, GA 30312
Nothing covers a problem like a coat of paint. Cities and institutions commission Black Lives Matter murals to show their solidarity with the movement. But, the damage is structural — institutional. Paint merely pretties the surface. It doesn't change policy.
