Casper Banjo used brick wall imagery throughout his career as a metaphor for social and economic barriers that prevented African Americans from gaining access to full citizenship in American society. The black and white handprints in A Black and White Situation not only reference race but also the graffiti aesthetics of Oakland and the East Bay. At the age of 70, Casper Banjo was shot by police with an assault rifle while holding a toy pistol. That we do not utter Banjo’s name in our now ritualistic listing of Black people killed at the hands of police speaks only to the mundane frequency of the murder of Black lives. Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, Eric Garner, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Tony McDade, and Casper Banjo. #ReflectionsonLiberty⁠⠀
