On July 4th, in the heart of Brooklyn, artist Phil Buehler and the team at Radio Free Brooklyn unveiled Wall of Shame, a striking outdoor installation that confronts the legacy of the January 6 Capitol insurrection. Installed along a 50-foot stretch of chain-link fencing outside Pine Box Rock Shop, the project presents a sobering archive of over 1,500 individuals involved in the riot, many of whom have since received pardons or had their sentences reduced. The installation displays photos with the stories and crimes: "pushed a police officer over a railing," "charged the Capitol with a flagpole," "destroyed government property." The mural doesn't ask viewers to judge. It forces them to bear witness.
