<p><span>The Black Lives Matter Street mural in Fresno, CA, was a sanctioned project organized by the Fresno City Council and created by a team of local artists. The rights to the work go to DJ Kay Rich, who worked with a team of artists and volunteers to sketch out the design, prepare the surface of the street, and paint the mural over several days. The words "Black Lives Matter" are written in large, strong characters on the mural, which is surrounded by vibrant motifs drawn from the Central Valley's agricultural past. The project received strong community support and has since established itself as a well-known landmark in Fresno's downtown.</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span>It seems that the Black Lives Matter Street mural in Fresno, CA, still exists today and has not been vandalized, altered, or removed. The artwork seems to be maintained by the Fresno City Council, which also frequently cleans and maintains the street's surface to ensure its visibility and good condition. If this is the case, it is fantastic news that the council can uphold it and not let the community's hard work go to waste. </span><span> </span></p>
<p><span>The Black Lives Matter Street mural in Fresno, CA was created during a period of nationwide protests police brutality, and systemic racism. Located on Fulton Street, a main downtown thoroughfare, it sits near the courthouse and police department, lending particular significance to the message it conveys. Other street murals promoting social justice and equity were also created in Fresno around the same time, emphasizing the community's rallying cry for change. The mural serves as a powerful symbol of the ongoing fight for civil rights and the need to continue working toward a more just and equitable society.</span> <span> <br /><br /></span>Researched by the Urban Art Mapping Team</p>
