A Black Lives Matter mural was painted outside Seattle City Hall, in the U.S. state of Washington, in 2021.
Description and history
[edit]The mural which reads "Black Lives Matter, enough is enough" is painted outside Seattle City Hall, along Fourth Avenue between Cherry Street and James Street in downtown.[1] The text "Black Lives Matter" is black and the text "enough is enough" appears in red script.[2]
The work was commissioned by community groups, including the Center on Contemporary Art and the Onyx Fine Arts Collective (OFAC). It was designed by a muralist from the Seattle Department of Transportation, which is expected to provide maintenance.[3][4]
OFAC president Earnest D. Thomas called the mural "a concerted global statement and reminder to our leaders and all people of the need for systemic change in racial justice".[5]
