Black Lives Matter Street Mural, Richmond, CA
Back Lives Matter is painted in yellow on the pavement. Each block letter measures 10 feet by 11 feet.
Over 200 community members participated in the effort to create the mural, called ‘Art Is Protest- Painting Pride & Purpose-Black Lives Matter,” according to organizers. They gathered starting at 9 a.m. for brief opening remarks and instructions and went to work. There were stations for paint supplies, food, beverage, and children’s art.
The idea to paint Richmond’s street mural came from local artist Deonta Allen, who reached out to Richmond Revolution on Monday for support. Over the next couple of days, the community responded enthusiastically to news of the event, donating more than $7,000 toward the street mural. In addition, support was provided by Rich City Rides and Our Power Coalition, who had originally planned their own event and shifted course in the name of collaboration and increasing impact together

Protest signs and artwork on the Black Lives Matter Memorial Fence, Date: 13 June 2020
A peace sign made from various materials on the Black Lives Matter Memorial Fence, located on the north side of Lafayette Park in Washington D.C.
Next to the peace sign is a poster that reads "Say Her Name Breonna Taylor."
<span>The Black Lives Matter Memorial fence was a temporary chainlink fence installed in the area north of Lafayette Park and the White House from June 2, 2020, until January 30, 2021. The fence prevented public access to the area, and it also served as an important site of protest and self-expression. </span><br /><br /><span>Activist Nadine Seiler played a crucial role in protecting and caring for the fence, along with Karen Irwin and other activists in a loosely-formed group informally known as the "Guardians of the Fence." Nadine Seiler and Aliza Leventhal systematically documented the fence over the course of months, and Seiler became the de facto curator of the fence. </span><br /><br /><span>Additional information: </span><br /><br /><span>Library of Congress blog post </span><a href="https://blogs.loc.gov/loc/2022/01/protest-preserved-signs-from-d-c-s-black-lives-matter-fence/">"Protest Preserved: Signs from D.C.'s Black Lives Matter Memorial Fence" </a><br /><br /><span>D.C.
