Give Us Our Flowers Street Mural
A street mural portrays the heads of four Black women in red and orange flowers. Underneath the flowers, there are blue and pink lines with "Black Trans Lives Matter" written on it. Above the heads of the women, "Give Us Our Flowers Now" is written in white. "Give us our flowers now” is a response to the fact that Black trans people are often only celebrated after a tragedy.

Black Trans Lives Matter Street Mural, San Francisco, CA
"Black Trans Lives Matter" is painted on the pavement in the middle of an intersection in San Francisco's Tenderloin Neighborhood. This is the first officially recognized transgender cultural district in the world. The letters are painted in blue, pink, and white. Next to the words are three hearts.
The mural commemorates the 54th anniversary of Compton's Cafeteria Riot, which is viewed as one of the first LGBTQ+ uprisings — three years before Stonewall.
