| Black Lives Matter murals throughout Downtown Raleigh! |
After the death of George Floyd by Minneapolis Police, many people saw the injustice that had occurred and some people are slowly coming to terms with the systemic racism that persists throughout so many institutions throughout the United States. Thousands of people took to the streets in peaceful protests to raise awareness of the injustices and try to make change with their voice. As night fell, many protests turned into riots and looting in cities across the United States. The same thing happened here in Raleigh and as businesses were cleaning up the next day and boarding up their businesses, many local business owners hired local artists to create personal pieces of work representing black lives and how black lives matter, the importance of having your voice heard at the voting booth and expressing the desire for justice and equal protection under the law. The artistic expression that has been shown throughout downtown Raleigh is inspiring to see. To see all the different works of art visit the Treasures Of Traveling Black Lives Matter gallery page.
