Beyond just saving the art, organizers have also strived to keep it in the hands of the community. Along with the African American Heritage Museum and Memorialize the Movement, an art preservation project that works with Save the Boards, Zellner-Smith displayed many of the saved boards at an exhibition last week.“I think a lot of people really understand the significance of these boards beyond just these wood pieces that plastered our city last summer.”

“These boards weren’t meant to necessarily be painted on. It was the pain and the trauma that our community has faced so many times again that led to this outcry of visual expression.”
