The Artwork
Members of the Edina High School Black Student Union, Good Samaritan Peace Frog Artists and community artists created artwork with messages of inclusion and racial justice that were placed in the flowerpots along West 50th Street in downtown Edina for summer 2020. The artwork is intended to start conversation about race in the community. This community art project is a strong affirmation that Black lives do matter in Edina.
