From Wikipedia:
The West Memphis 3 are three men tried and convicted for the murders of three children in the Robin Hood Hills area of West Memphis, Arkansas, United States during 1993 .
Damien Echols, the alleged ringleader, was sentenced to death; Jessie Misskelley and Jason Baldwin were sentenced to life in prison. The case has received considerable attention, and many critics charge that the arrests and convictions were a miscarriage of justice inspired by a misguided moral panic, and that the defendants were wrongfully convicted.
In a show of support for Echols, Misskelley, and Baldwin, Shepard Fairey created a print of Henry Rollins. This print was released in 2002, with all proceeds going to The WM3 Defense Fund.
A CD, "Rise Above," and a t-shirt bearing the same slogan were also released.
Site admin notes: Please watch Paradise Lost, a superb documentary on the topic. It is available here

Shepard did a series of three fine art pieces in tribute to the West Memphis 3.
