Edythe (Edy) Boone (born 1938), is an African-American artist and activist. She has worked as a muralist, counselor, and art teacher throughout her life in an under-served area in California.[1]
She is the aunt of Eric Garner, an African-American man who was choked to death by New York Police Department officers.[1] His death, along with the death of Michael Brown,[2] led to protests and in part catalyzed the Black Lives Matter movement.
