Black Lives Matter Street Murals Stand as an Enduring Reminder of Protests Against Racism
- In 2020, following the killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery, numerous communities across the United States had Black Lives Matter murals painted on their streets to show solidarity.
- These murals were created as a sign of solidarity prompted by unprecedented multiracial mass protests against police brutality and racism.
- Murals varied widely, including a 35-foot yellow-lettered mural near the White House, a 100-foot mural in Chicago, and six murals spanning 2,000 feet in Kansas City.
- Though many murals remain—nearly 150 documented by Urban Art Mapping—some have been removed, vandalized, or faded, including the White House mural removed under D.C. Mayor Bowser's order amid political pressure.
- Despite removals and damage, artists and activists continue maintaining murals nationwide, signaling ongoing community commitment to racial justice remembrance and reflection.
