Latest Black Lives Matter Mural Comes to Borough Hall in Downtown Brooklyn

As mass protests continue nationwide against police brutality in the wake of George Floyd’s killing in Minneapolis, Brooklyn officials unveiled a new “Black Lives Matter” mural along the newly co-named “Black Lives Matter Boulevard” in Downtown Brooklyn on Friday.

The demonstration — which included a live painting of the mural, and more than a dozen speeches by local elected officials and advocates — was capped with the uncovering of the new street sign at the corner of Court and Joralemon streets. The new additions will serve as a reminder not only to passersby, but more importantly to judges, legislators and other decision makers working out of nearby buildings that Black lives matter, speakers said.
