Silenced?

Several years ago I made this mug as part of a series of works that I called "The Emergence." The pots were inspired by some of the old buildings I've seen where a brick wall has been plastered over but the plaster has started crumbling off the wall to reveal the bricks and a message.  Often the message is simply an advertisement but sometimes it can be some graffiti that makes a statement about the time in which it was written.  Now that the Senate has tried to shut up the voice of Senator Elizabeth Warren as she spoke the words of Coretta Scott King I am thinking about this mug again.

I wish I had a better picture of it. The message reads "We will not be silenced" but part of the word "silenced" is still covered by the plaster.
