<p><span>The ‘</span><i><span>All Black Lives Matter Street Mural’ </span></i><span>was organized by Luckie Alexander in Los Angeles, California on Hollywood Boulevard. Luckie Alexander is a trans man who advocates for bringing about change to the LGBTQ+ community (CHIPTS). He is committed to giving back to the community by spreading awareness and educating others (CHIPTS). </span><span> </span></p>
<p><span>Alexander managed to get hundreds of volunteers to help create this mural on June 13, 2020 (Do, 2020). The mural shows the words “All Black Lives Matter” in bold writing. Each word also contains colors representing nonbinary, transgender, and queer pride flags, along with others (Do, 2020). The mural was painted before the All Black Lives Matter march. This march was in place to show support for the Black community and transgender people of color (Do, 2020). Tens of thousands of protesters showed up for this march, making it one of the largest protests the area had ever seen (O’Kane, 2020). </span><span> </span></p>
<p><span>After the march, a clean-up crew went by in an attempt to remove the mural with power washing equipment. As the crew began to remove the mural, they were met with protesters who did not want the mural removed (Do, 2020). Crew members were able to remove three letters before a member of the city council instructed them to stop (O’Kane, 2020). The protest to keep the mural on this street helped create a partnership with different council members, activists, and other groups to make sure the mural remains permanent. There is significance to this mural's location on Hollywood Boulevard, because it was also where the first recognized gay pride parade was held (Do, 2020). </span><span> </span></p>
<p><span>Other similar murals were also painted on the streets of important and well-trafficked roads across the country. Some of these roads include “Black Lives Matter” written on a street in front of the White House, which is now permanently named Black Lives Matter Plaza (O’Krane, 2020). There were also many other Black Lives Matter murals painted on buildings across Los Angeles. Those murals include images of George Floyd and phrases like “Protect Black Women” and “United We Stand Up” (Pineda, 2020). These murals are all large and painted across whole buildings in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.</span><span> <br /><br />Researched by Nicole Thomas</span></p>
