A statue to highlight black supremacy! The handle of this afro pick is shaped like fist to signify black power!
The artwork is prominently placed on Lafayette Square.
Is this artwork the replacement for the Bust of John McDonogh that was torn down by the violent protesters in June 2020? Only fanatics, radicals and history illiterates would call McDonogh a racist or reduce him to a mere slaveholder.
This exhibit is part of the Monumental Tour. This the official website for this statue.
"Standing 28 feet tall and weighing in at 7,000lbs, Hank Willis Thomas’ All Power to All People is a provocative artwork combining the Afro pick and the Black Power salute, both icons of Black identity and empowerment."
