During this painting we will get a chance to hear speeches from some of Milwaukee’s black leaders, activists and community members as we honor the lives Sylville Smith, Sandra Bland, and Dontre Hamilton.
We will also be serving food after the speaking portion and have music from local black DJs as well.
This is a kids friendly event and we have tons of chalk for the young ones to draw on the sidewalks, on the street, or wherever their hearts desire.
We do recommend the wearing of masks during this event as we still are trying to survive a pandemic. *SAFETY FIRST*
We are proud to have support from Timbuktu (Restaurant) as well as Miltown Cigarclub.
