The people carry signs calling for death to capitalism and for APPO. Governor Ulises can be seen in the wheelchair along with many other members of his repressive government." The mural is long and horizontal, in shades of red, white and black. Soldiers with guns face a crowd carrying weapons and banners that read, in Spanish, "Death to Capitalism" and"Fire [Governor] Ulises!"
R. Hennessy's Flickr photo, captioned: "Sure, it's a mural of a scenic day at All-American City Rutland, Vermont. Guys playing guitars, kids on roller skates, old people looking at things, and guys in wheelchairs. But take a closer look. Why does everyone have on the same pair of sunglasses? What is it about Rutland, Vermont that makes everyone want to be an aviator? Or does the artist simply not know how to paint eyes?" An idyllic city park scene, the person in the right foreground is an older white man sitting in a manual chair he pushes himself. Yes, he has the aviator sunglasses too.
Nuevo Anden's Flickr photo of a wall mural in Brookline, Massachusetts. While the dramatic Mexican mural conveys action and the Vermont mural is very realistically painted, this close-up of a white-bearded white man in a manual wheelchair is blurry and expressionistic. The man is looking toward us, leaning to the right over his right wheel. There's a small brown dog playing by his feet and the man has a stick in his hand. There are trees, leaves and grass all around.
Zesmerelda's Flickr photo of a Philadelphia wall grafitti of a bold, white spray-painted manual wheelchair and a box with the word "wheelchairs" and an arrow pointing to the drawing.
Edith OSB's Flickr photo of detail of a mural at the Sierra Vista Elementary School. I don't know what city. It's a colorful painting of an Indian woman or girl in a manual wheelchair wearing a pink and green sari and traditional Indian jewelry. The spokes of the wheelchair have "virtues" written along them, including: "Commitment, Detachment, Diligence, Excellence, Flexibility, Gentleness, Humility, Idealism, Integrity, Justice, Modesty, Patience, Responsibility, Reliability, and Self Discipline." There's another woman standing just behind the chair with a peace flag with a white dove on it.
This is the entire mural.
