Black Lives Matter Street Mural, Chicago, IL
"Black Lives Matter" is painted in blue on the pavement. In between the words, there are red stars.
William Calloway —a former candidate for Alderman of the 5th ward and Chicago community organizer, along with the Chicago community group, South Shore Works, organized the mural.

<p><span>This mural was created in late July of 2020 and is in Chicago’s South Shore neighborhood. Although the mural was not sanctioned, it was organized by William Calloway, who was a former candidate for Alderman in the neighborhood where the mural was created [1]. It was also partially organized by South Shore Works, a community group in Chicago. The artist who created the mural is named Quentin Crocket. He designed the street mural and orchestrated its completion with the help of 250 volunteers and community members. The entire mural was completed in a matter of hours.</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span>The mural has since been removed and is no longer visible on the street.</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span>Following the murder of George Floyd, the city of Chicago held several protests throughout the summer of 2020. Much like the rest of the country and world following the death of George Floyd, there were many different outcries by the neighborhoods in Chicago. The South Shore neighborhood was a hotspot for people to gather to create momentum for the Black Lives Matter cause. The mural was created in the South Shore neighborhood to help bring the community together and make everyone feel united. The artist and organizers thought it would best to create the mural in the heart of the community instead of placing it in front of controversial areas, so it had a deeper sense of importance for the South Shore community. The location of the mural was also specifically placed on Jeffery Boulevard because it is a heavily trafficked street in the neighborhood. William Calloway stated, “</span><span>Jeffery Boulevard has thousands of commuters a day [2].”</span><span> Commuters who passed through the neighborhood encountered the mural every day. Although there was more than just this one Black Lives Matter street mural created in Chicago, this was the first one created in the city. </span><span> </span></p>

Black Lives Matter Street Mural, Evanston, IL
Black Lives Matter is painted in various colors on the pavement of a parking lot. Each of the letters has a different design. Inside the letter "B" the word "love" is written in white paint.
Sholo Beverly, one of the artists, works in mixed media. They are inspired by the organic shapes in nature and the visual stimulation of the female body and energy. With a concentration in mixed media, Sholo is a vessel of intuitive creations.

<p><span>The Black Lives Matter mural in Evanston, IL, is among the 250 BLM murals in the United States. While information is unclear, the mural was most likely sanctioned because it was created on non-government property. According to Stephen Larrick in the </span><i><span>Black Lives Matter Street Mural Census</span></i><span>, The Evanston Art Center organized and sponsored the piece in their private parking lot. Sholo Bererly was the lead artist in the creation of this piece and used her mixed media approach when designing. In an interview between the Evanston Art Center and Beverly, she stated “I am a fashion junkie for textiles of patterns, and creating utopia environments visuals art”. This can be seen in the piece’s mosaic lettering. Each letter has a unique design and coloring, and the word ‘love’ appears in the letter B. Baz Cumberbatch, Blanca Cortes, David Johnson-Niari, Ziana Pearson-Muller (Z) and Grant Rogers are among the other artists who contributed to this mural. </span><span> </span></p>
<p><span>There is no clear information on the mural’s current condition. The information posted by the Evanston Art Center and new articles have not been updated since the mural’s creation. Evanston Art Center did not respond to a request for an update. While it is uncertain, based on Google Earth maps, the mural seems to have been removed. </span><span> </span></p>
<p><span>According to Catherine Buchaniec of the Daily Northwestern, like many in cities throughout the United States, residents of Evanston rallied together to protest against police brutality and for Black Lives Matter following the death of George Floyd. Students at Northwestern University also protested in Evanston. In addition, the creation of the mural in a private parking lot was significant because it took away the chances of it being removed by the government. Moreover, other street murals were dedicated to Black Lives Matter in Evanston. Karie Angell Luc and Genevieve Bookwalter of the Chicago Tribune report that a BLM mural created by the Evanston High School boy’s basketball team was defaced in July 2020.</span><span> <br /><br />Sources</span></p>
