"Say Their Names," Wane One, Nero & Souls NYC

Say Their Names includes the names of the more than 60 unarmed People of Color who had been unarmed at the time they were killed by police in the 12 months prior to the painting of this mural (from June 1, 2019, to May 31, 2020). The mural also includes the names of Springfield residents killed by police. The names and demographics of those killed, as well as the circumstances of their death, were drawn from the research by Mapping Police Deaths.

The mural was painted by Wane One, Nero, and SoulsNYC in the wake of the murder of George Floyd. Wane One splits his time between Springfield and the Bronx, and has painted murals around the world for the last 30 years. His work is featured in over 30 books and he has designed for leading brands including Nike, Reebok, New Balance, and RYU. This is one of 4 murals Nero has painted in Springfield, and one of two murals Souls NYC has painted in Springfield.
