Freedom of Speech murals

On Collinwood High's Gymnasium annex is Chris Darling's "Dialogue, Diversity, Democracy". Darling died in June.
Donald Black Jr.'s "Your silence will not protect you" is on the (Harvey) Rice Branch of Cleveland Public Library.
Free Speech Week this year was 22-28 October. Free Speech Week was created by The Media Institute in 2005. City Club of Cleveland commissioned three murals. Cleveland artist Elmer Brown (*1909. 1971☨) painted "Freedom of Speech" in 1942 for the City Club's Auditorium.
April Bleakney's mural was the first of the three put up, and it is portable.  It faces an ongoing construction project on East 17th and Euclid. Its future ability to be visible is questionable.
