A mural on E. Second St. between Second and Third Aves., below, features the images of mothers of black men killed by police, including Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Ramarley Graham and Amadou Diallo. On the artwork’s left side is the message: “We want an immediate end to police brutality and murder of black people.” It was created by artist Sophia Dawson in partnership with Every Mother’s Son. Meanwhile, a new mural, featuring two masked figures, perhaps anarchist protesters, above, was recently completed at the ABC No Rio arts and activist space, at 156 Rivington St.
