Mosaic House, back - Martin Luther King

Inscription

The ultimate tragedy is not the brutality of the bad people, but the silence of the good people.
Dr Martin Luther King

Site: Mosaic House, back (5 memorials)

W4, Cunnington Street

The Angola Three arch is above the first floor window on the left. The Kenny ‘Zulu’ Whitmore flying eyeball is at the right below the 2nd floor window. The Luther King memorial is low on the boundary wall to the left. The Ramirez heart is to the upper right of the boundary wall. The Bill Hicks message runs along the top of the boundary wall - part of it can be seen in the photo of the Ramirez memorial.

The front of this house is even more ornately decorated. See there for more information. Also see Treatment Rooms 2.
