Colors in Swayne Field art proposal to be changed after racial concerns raised
A Toledo City Council member has raised questions about a rendering of the proposed Swayne Field artwork, saying its colors evoke watermelon imagery, which has a painful history as a racially demeaning stereotype of Black people. Designed by Blissfield, Mich.-based artist Ken Thompson, the installation would feature two canopy structures in the site’s median, serving as both shelter and artwork. The renderings show red-and-green canopies with blue acrylic panels that some viewers said resemble watermelon seeds, raising concerns that the imagery could be upsetting for residents of Toledo’s Englewood, a richly Black neighborhood. “That’s what it looked like when I saw it — a watermelon with seeds,” said Councilman Cerssandra McPherson. “It’s in our community. This is in a Black community. You can’t do that.” The watermelon stigma has roots in racist caricatures that followed emancipation. Watermelons had been grown and sold by newly freed Black Americans, making the fruit a symbol of self-sufficiency and economic independence. Racist depictions later twisted that association into a demeaning stereotype. “Some people may not see it ... but because that’s my community, that’s my history, I know that’s what people will look at it and think. They were glad that I brought it
