Plaque next to mosaic: Eartha M.M. White Given the name Eartha, which means "Storehouse to All," Eartha Mary Magdalene White was a humanitarian, philanthropist and businesswoman. Born on November 8, 1876 in Jacksonville, Florida, Eartha displayed a lifelong commitment to helping others. She embodied the motto taught to her by her mother, Clara White: "Do all the good you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, for all the people you can, while you can." In 1893, upon graduation from Stanton School in Jacksonville, Florida, Eartha moved to New York City for a brief period. A lyric soprano, she sang in the first African American opera company in the United States under the direction of J. Rosamond Johnson, brother of James Weldon Johnson. The Johnson brothers were also from Jacksonville and would later compose the hymn "Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing." Upon her return to Jacksonville, Eartha displayed considerable business acumen, and she owned and operated several success

Plaque next to mosaic: Rutledge Pearson Rutledge Pearson was born in Jacksonville, Florida on September 9, 1929. He was a talented professional baseball player and high school baseball coach, educator, civil rights leader and human rights activist. 1 As a young man, Pearson was a successful professional baseball player who played first base for the Birmingham Black Barons of the Negro League and the Cincinnati Reds. In 1954, Pearson returned to Jacksonville to play for the Jacksonville Beach Seabirds, the city's professional team. Because he was Black, the team's owners closed the baseball park rather than allowing Pearson to play. That experience led Pearson to dedicate the rest of his life to fighting for civil and human rights. He became an active member of the Jacksonville community, including as a high school teacher, baseball coach and leader in the local, state and national NAACP organizations. He advised the Jacksonville Youth Council NAACP during their peaceful sit-ins to

Plaque next to mosaic: Rodney Lawrence Hurst, Sr. Rodney L. Hurst, Sr. is a civil rights activist, a Black historian, and the author of three award-winning books. Rodney was born on March 2, 1944 in Jacksonville, Florida. As a high school student at Northwestern Junior-Senior High School, he was a protégé of Rutledge Pearson. At 16 years old, Rodney was President of the Jacksonville Youth Council NAACP when students organized peaceful sit-ins to protest segregation. During one of the sit-ins, the students were chased through the city by 200 White Klansmen carrying ax handles and baseball bats. It came to be known as Ax Handle Saturday. Rodney's book "It was never about a hot dog and a Coke!" is his eyewitness account of the 1960 sit-ins and Ax Handle Saturday. It is the only historically accurate description of those events since the local press suppressed coverage when the events were happening. He is the author of two other books about Black history and identity.

Plaque next to mosaic: Zora Neale Hurston Zora Neale Hurston was an anthropologist, folklorist and novelist who was a member of the Harlem Renaissance. Her writings reflect a deep connection to her hometown of Eatonville, Florida, a rural community near Orlando that was established in 1887 as the nation's first incorporated Black township. She described her hometown as "a city of five lakes, three croquet courts, three hundred brown skins, three hundred good swimmers, plenty guavas, two schools and no jailhouse." Zora attended the Florida Baptist Academy boarding school in Jacksonville but was expelled in 1905 because she was unable to pay her tuition. In Jacksonville, Hurston experienced racism for the first time in her life. She explained that it "made me know that I was a little colored girl." Despite those experiences, she chose to live in Jacksonville from 1904 to 1914 and returned to Duval County after completing her bachelor's degree in anthropology at New York's Barnard Colle

Dubbed the "Scar of Bethlehem", the baby Jesus, Mary and Joseph are backlit through damaged concrete, chiseled pockmarks exploding out from a gaping hole in four directions to approximate the Christmas Star.

The work was installed in December 2019 at Banksy's Walled-Off Hotel, where all rooms overlook a concrete section of the barrier built by Israel to cut off the occupied West Bank from Israeli territory.
