Richmond Approves ‘Black Lives Matter’ Mural Near Virginia State Capitol

Officials in Richmond, Virginia, have approved a proposal for a 200-foot mural bearing the phrase “Black Lives Matter” to be painted near the state’s capitol building.

The Richmond Planning Commission approved the proposal by a unanimous vote on Monday, WSLS reported.

The mural is set to be painted in large, yellow letters along a street downtown leading to the entrance of Virginia’s state capitol square.

It is a privately-funded project led by two local artists known for other murals in the city, and its location was proposed by Venture Richmond, a nonprofit led by community and business leaders.

Venture Richmond Deputy Executive Director Anedra Bourne said the location is significant because of its distance to City Hall and the state capitol.

This is Bull $hit like I have never seen!!If we don't vote out ALL of these democrats, this is the kind of stuff we're going to have shoved down our throats, and a lot more! Vote for all REPUBLICANS in everything, even if you've never heard of them or know what they stand for. Whatever they stand for is going to be better than what the democrats are pushing. Please, vote REPUBLICAN all the way. It's our only hope.
