Description: This is a bench painting application for the Black Student Alliance student organization. Their proposed design is as follows:
Front of the back rest: On the left edge are the words “Black Student Alliance.” The first letters, B, S, and A are highlighted in red to form a vertical acronym. The background is black. On the right third of the bench rest, a fist is depicted in white. The fist appears to be a black power fist, used prominently in the George Floyd protest movement and other Black protests.
Seat: In very large red text across the panel, “B.S.A.” with the dots replaced with handprints in red, orange, and green. The background is black.
Back of the back rest: The words “UNITY”, “Power” and “Diversity” appear in red text in the top left, top center, and bottom right respectively. The rest of the space is taken up by handprints in white, yellow, orange, red, and green. The background is black. The handprints likely symbolize unity and a common humanity.
