A white-painted section of a brick wall on a city street displays a mural in large gray capital letters: "YOU ARE PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR BECOMING MORE ETHICAL THAN THE SOCIETY YOU GREW UP IN." A street lamp, tall glass building, and posted signs are visible around it.

Be More Ethical Than the Society You Grew Up In

A street mural challenges you to outgrow the values of the society you were raised in, a pointed message for Xennials who grew up in the analog 80s and 90s.

A white subway-tile wall with a wooden-framed panel lit by lamps and draped with green ivy above. Black capital letters read: "BE BRAVE ENOUGH TO SUCK AT SOMETHING NEW." A sidewalk curb and dark street run below. Black and white hand-lettered illustration. Inside a white oval wreath of leafy fronds on a scratchy black background, text reads: "Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world's grief. Do justly now. Love mercy now. Walk humbly now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it." The word "now" is underlined each time. Black-and-white photo of an old dictionary page printed over with large bold gray capital letters reading: "IF IT CAN BE DESTROYED BY THE TRUTH IT DESERVES TO BE DESTROYED BY THE TRUTH" and below it, "CARL SAGAN". Neon yellow-green flyer printed in green ink. A rounded box reads: "WHITE SUPREMACY WON'T DIE UNTIL WHITE PEOPLE SEE IT AS A WHITE ISSUE THEY NEED TO SOLVE". A dotted green starburst reads "RATHER THAN". An oval below reads: "A BLACK ISSUE THEY NEED TO EMPHATHIZE WITH." A white paper flyer pasted on a green metal street pole, with graffiti around it. Text: "People are out there hoarding hand sanitizer. They're driving the prices up because they're buying all of it. Now they're reselling it for higher and higher prices and making huge profits. Some of them are charging ridiculous prices just to let other people use it. So now there are people who can't afford it even if some is… Black-and-white photo of a street riot: an overturned burning car, smoke, and several young men standing in a debris-strewn street. Torn paper strips are pasted over it. The top strip reads "i like to stay up late on the computer". The bottom strip reads "and look for answers."
