To commemorate the character, Netflix has commissioned artists from around the world to paint their own depictions of Samira Wiley's character. Murals in New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, Melbourne, Sydney, Chicago, Detroit, and San Francisco feature Poussey with the words "Stand Up."

"I think it's our responsibility as artists to be able to reflect the time that we're living in," Wiley told the AP. "She's a fictional character that can elicit real change in thought and action from people."

Season five of Orange is the New Black premieres June 9 on Netflix.
