Part 2/2 - Eric Marsh, Black Activist on the George Floyd's Mural
Join our exclusive mailing list!
Back in America is a podcast exploring America's culture, values, and identity.
After my interview with Cadex Herrera a lead artist of the memorial mural of George Floyd in Minneapolis, I asked Eric Marsh a Black community leader and activist in Philadelphia what he thought of controversy around the mural.
Some black activists, including Keno Evol, the executive director of Black Table Arts, have voiced their concern about the fact that Black artists had not been invited to participate in the mural creation.
From the conversation:
"It's very easy to be upset about a thing, but it's also easy to go off in the wrong direction if you're not centering the people who are most directly impacted by the thing that you're upset." -- Part 2-2
"The only way that the rest of the world will hear and know and understand our stories is by seeing the thing that African Americans would create." -- Part 2-2
