John Brown, Reaford Walker, 2013. Reaford, a traditional sign-maker designed this mural to resemble a historical advertisement. The work centers on John Brown, a radical abolitionist who led a raid on the federal armory in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. Though Brown’s raid occurred in 1859, over a decade before the Civil War, it was indicative of the tensions and ideological struggles in Antebellum America.
