Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "The purple background was intended to represent royalty because heroes are the closest thing we have to royalty. I memorialized him and his work on racial equality through a portrait of him holding one of his signs. In the portrait, the color of his clothing represented many of his admirable qualities."
