A hooded figure holding a flame stands before a mural reading "There was never a good war or a bad peace," a stark mix of anti-war quote and political commentary.

Italic text quote on a white background: "In an ever-changing, incomprehensible world the masses had reached the point where they would, at the same time, believe everything and nothing, think that everything was possible and that nothing was true. ... Mass propaganda discovered that its audience was ready at all times to believe the worst, no matter how absurd, and did not particularly object to being deceived… Newspaper clipping headed "Letter of the Week" with the title "What is wrong with you?" Jonna Ramey of Salt Lake City, a 67-year-old white woman, says her WWII-serving parents fought fascism, tells white supremacists to put down their Tiki torches and get involved in real work, and says all Americans stand against hatred and bigotry. 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. 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. 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."
