If you weren’t paying attention, you might walk right by it, but there’s a small, secret, monument dedicated to Trayvon Martin sitting atop a lamppost in the Jamaica Plain section of Boston.

According to WBUR, Matthew Hincman, an associate professor at Massachusetts College of Art and Design, attached the small, cylindrical metal statue to a lamppost a couple weeks ago without any official permission from authorities.

According to Boston.com, the top of the monument of Trayvon Martin is flat and features a small hooded sweatshirt that appears to have been tossed on the ground. On the side of the fixture, Hincman inscribed his name and the message, “Still, 2014.”
