The mural is located on Indiana Avenue, the historic hub of the city's Black culture, on the same corner as the Madam C. J. Walker Building. 18 individual local African American artists created the artwork, each artist responsible for one of the images in the message, and organized activists working with local Black Lives Matter groups.

Crispus Attucks High School (also known as Crispus Attucks Medical Magnet High School) is a public high school of Indianapolis Public Schools in Indianapolis, Indiana, U.S. Its namesake, Crispus Attucks (c.1723 – March 5, 1770), was an African American patriot killed during the Boston Massacre.: 32  The school was built northwest of downtown Indianapolis near Indiana Avenue (the business and cultural hub of the city's African American community) and opened on September 12, 1927, when it was the only public high school in the city designated specifically for African Americans. Despite the passage of federal and state school desegregation laws, Attucks was the city's only high school with a single-race student body in 1953, largely due to residential segregation, and remained a segregated school until 1971 (although some historians suggest that its desegregation occurred in 1968). Due to declining enrollment, Attucks was converted to a junior high school in 1986, and a middle school in 1993. It became a medical magnet high school in 2006, partially due to the school's proximity to the campus of the Indiana University School of Medicine and its associated hospitals. The red brick building with terra-cotta and limestone detailing covers a two-square-block area and was built in three phases. A three-story main building, designed by local architects Merritt Harrison and Llewellyn A. Turnock, was constructed in 1927. A three-story addition and a two-story gymnasium were built in 1938. A newer, two-story gymnasium was constructed in 1966. The main building and the 1938 addition reflect Collegiate Gothic (or Tudor Revival) and Classical Revival styles of architecture. The high school was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. During its early years, Attucks was known for its excellence in academics, in addition to its successful athletic teams, especially its basketball program. The high school also became a gathering place and a source of pride for the city's African American community. In 1955, the Attucks Tigers won the Indiana High School Athletic Association's state basketball championship, becoming the first all-black school in the nation to win a state title. In 1956, the team became the first state champions in IHSAA history to complete a season undefeated since the Indiana High School Boys Basketball Tournament began in 1911. Attucks also won the IHSAA state basketball championship in 1959 and in 2017 (Class 3A). The school contains the Crispus Attucks Museum, which opened in 1998.

Crispus Attucks Museum is a museum inside Crispus Attucks High School located in Indianapolis, Indiana. The museum is operated by the Indianapolis Public School (IPS) system and features exhibitions on local, state, national, and international African American history.

The Colored Knights of Pythias Castle Hall, also known simply as "Castle Hall", is a historic building in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana, United States. This building was a hub of commercial and social activity for Colored Knights of Pythias who came together from several different Indianapolis lodges. The brick building was designed in the Tudor Revival style with sparse detail compared to other examples of the style, likely due to cost-saving measures taken during construction. Remnants of the original, grander design can be seen on external features of the castle hall, such as a label lintel with a stone hood around the entrance, as well as hooded windows and stepped parapets resembling castle turrets. While the outside was sparse in comparison with original building plans, the inside had many ornate details. The inside of the building contains three floors, with a historic paint scheme of dark reds, greens, and mustard used throughout the building. The first floor contained the main lobby, which had a terrazzo floor with the Knights of Pythias emblem in the middle. The ceilings were made of pressed metal and showcased elaborate cove moldings. Similar ceiling design was also in the main staircase and second floor assembly hall. Seven storefronts, rented to retail tenants, could be accessed from the street. Both stairs and an elevator could be used to access the other floors of the building. The second floor landing had a check-in room that may have been used as a ticket booth. Most of the second floor is taken up by a large assembly hall with a stage opposite the entrance. In the assembly hall, Knights of Pythias emblems are in the ceiling panels over the bays. The space is decorated with the pressed metal ceilings and cove moldings similar to the lobby and main staircase and stenciling on the front wall of the stage. The remainder of the space on the second story is taken up by hallways and two separate men's and women's lounges that connect to their own coat rooms and restrooms. The third floor consisted of three meeting rooms, labeled "West", "Middle", and "East". The West meeting room had a platform parallel to the far wall. A kitchen was also located between the East meeting room and stairwell.As a Knights of Pythias meeting space, the building was out of commission by the 1940s due to loss of retail tenants and mounting financial issues faced by the Castle Hall Association. The building was operated as a storage facility until recently, and is currently under renovation.
