A square canvas. Only the top corner is filled with Harings distinctive figures, rendered in Lavender, the rest is blank.

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990.

Book covers for: Hollow Fires by Samira Ahmed, The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo, The Many Half-Lived Lives of Sam Sylvester by Maya MacGregor, Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson, Monster by Walter Dean Myers, To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee.

Got my first "Violating an Executive Order" and "I'll make sure you lose federal funding" parent threat today for teaching "DEI" books in our upcoming "Liberty and Justice" themed unit. Even in "Blue" Massachusetts we're dealing with this.

Anyway, don't obey in advance, and don't obey later.
