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]]>
