Journey For Justice Day 4: Uvalde

First I will post pictures of the giant murals memorializing the dead children murdered inside their elementary school by a 17 year old boy with an AK17(?) rifle while 375 law enforcement men stood around outside the school for 77 minutes before entering to confront the boy with the rifle and protect the children and their teachers.

The murals are the idea and work of a Mexican muralist who learnt about the shootings and wanted to do more than express horror and sympathy for the families and their murdered children. So he decided to come to this country and create murals to let people kno who these children were.

Also, teachers and students from an art school in Austin heard about his project and came to Uvalde to assist.

The artists went into the homes of the children murdered, spoke with the parents and siblings and grandparents about their child - which I can't imagine how diffiult this speaking must have been - and then the artist painted into life existing only on a wall, their little loved one.

These walls are now the only place outside the hearts of the families and community, where the children are alive. Look carefully at the brilliant colors and brilliant beings reflected here on these walls around the center of Uvalde. And weep.p> Then become enraged enough to work to ban guns. ALL guns. Period.
