Book excerpt: From 1967-1972, the Wall of Respect depicted black heroes and heroines in areas such as music, art, literature, politics, and sports, sparking a nationwide mural movement. Despite being a seminal work of the black arts movement, no sign indicates its existence today. Using the Wall of Respect as a case, Romi Crawford, the editor of Fleeting Monuments for the Wall of Respect, proposes the concept of "fleeting monuments" and argues against producing monuments that boast grandeur and permanence. Instead, Crawford asks a range of artists and writers-each with differing degrees of proximity to the wall's legacy-to realize antiheroic, non-static, and impermanent strategies for commemoration and public memory. The result is a gathering of responses that invite readers to enact the history of the Wall of Respect on their own terms, either in mind or real time.
