Description:
A trapezoidal structure covered in stucco and painted light orange. There is a hole in the center of the structure, allowing the viewer to peer through it. The two main faces of the structure have porcelain enamel painted steel plates embedded in them, depicting people of various ethnic backgrounds, including blacks, whites, Hispanics and East Indian. On the top of the structure is a two-dimensional enamel and steel construction depicting three children walking together, each wearing a backpack. They wear jeans and sweatshirts. On one face of the structure, the enamel paintings depict a trumpet player in proper left profile; a black family of three with a German shepherd dog, the father carries a baby and the mother, dressed in a suit, carries a briefcase; and two schoolchildren, a girl on the right writing with a pencil and a boy on the left looking out at the viewer while holding a pencil and piece of paper. On the other face of the structure are a scene of a young boy and elderly woman sitting on a park bench feeding pigeons. Below them, on the right, is a black male basketball player wearing an Orange uniform, making a jump shot. On the left is a worker carrying a toolbox and a lunch box. Near the bottom is a woman holding a menu, standing in front of a restaurant table.
