During the recent repainting, Mustapha mentioned that the absence of local activist Thairie Ritchie at the event was felt by many, as Ritchie is still recovering from his act of self-immolation on top of the mural in late January after President Donald Trump had taken his oath of office.

Any video of the self-immolation of Thairie Ritchie? Would be nice to watch.

That's not a mural. That is block letters painted in the street.
If That is a mural, so is this:

I hear there’s a college fund/grant that got started in that artist’s name.

The article refers to this as an ‘art piece’. Is ‘PED X-ING’ also art?
