In Ward 8, a new mural installation celebrates the 100th anniversary of some women gaining the right to vote after #womensuffragists organized for decades. “The Office of D.C. @mayor_bowser decided to place the murals in Ward 8 on Martin Luther King [Ave.] and for women muralists to work collaboratively, demonstrating the synergy of the women’s suffragist movement,” says Lauren Dugas Glover of the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities. (The Commission and Department of Public Works funded the project.) The installation is made of three murals, standing side-by-side, created by three women of color. The artists all used purple and gold hues, as those were some of the colors associated with the suffragist movement. Purple stood for loyalty, and gold represented life, light and a torch that guided the movement and its purpose, according to the #NationalParkService. It’s one of several art pieces commemorating the centennial of the 19th Amendment going up across the country, including a mosaic of #IdaBWells at #UnionStationDC. While women have gained the right to vote, communities of color continue to experience voter suppression such as long lines and wait times at polling sites, according to the Washington Post. In the mural’s new home in #Ward8, voters experienced similar challenges during the June primary, as some voters waited in line until midnight to cast their ballot. Two Ward 8 residents sued the elections board for voter suppression, alleging that they didn’t receive their voter guide in the mail and polling sites were limited in less populous and gentrified neighborhoods. #dcmurals #dmvnessa #womenartists #southeastdc #igdc #acreativedc #bythingsdc #mydccool #walkwithlocalsdc #dmvnessa (at AmeriHealth DC Member Wellness Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNIOckmheJC/?igshid=z27a34x386zb
