It looks like the people are speaking.

Nicely done and I like the way they incorporated the window into the mural.

Amazing mural, you can feel the anger! Great shot for the day, JM, as always! Have a wonderful week!

Powerful mural; the people represented here look not unlike some of those protestors you've showed us in previous posts.

It's sad that we seem to go through the same damn cycle over and over ... people get in power, power corrupts, the rest of the people suffer until finally it erupts in a revolt.

Love the vibrant form, not at all the stale substance, but it is perfect as a vintage piece...

very emotional scene. the artist captured the emotions incredibly well.

Even though this has a 1930s retro feel to it, there's nothing retro about protesting injustice. So much continues to exist in our world. Have to admit the gun makes me nervous. Does this reference a specific historical event or current events? Too bad taggers have gotten to it. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.

Nicely done but the tagging overlay is unfortunate.

They look like a very angry crowd to me and I prefer to see happy people. Not my taste at all. Diane

They are making themselves heard and while I see families it makes it look like the underground in WW2. Super mural
