A "Black Lives Matter" street mural was painted in Capitol Hill, Seattle, in the U.S. state of Washington in June 2020.[1][2] Maintained by the Seattle Department of Transportation, the artwork has survived longer than many Black Lives Matter street murals across the United States.

Description and history

The text "Black Lives Matter" was first painted in large white letters on Pine Street between 10th and 11th avenues, during the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest.[3]

After the letters began to deteriorate, the mural was etched permanently into the road surface in September[4] and repainted with colorful, block letters, each contributed by a different artist.[5][6][7][8]

Mural artists include Takiyah Ward[9] and Kimisha Turner.[10] The "E" in "matter" featured representations of graffiti seen around the city, and its artist was criticised for having included the anti-police slogan ACAB, apparently without notifying other artists.[11]

Maintenance and legacy

The mural is maintained by the Seattle Department of Transportation. To protect the pedestrian area, slower traffic lanes came to displace East Pine Street's curb parking. The work was refreshed in July 2022 and will require periodic maintenance over time.[10][12][13]

In March 2023, Amanda Ong of the South Seattle Emerald said the community gardens and the mural "are all that remain" of the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest.[14] In June, Melissa Santos of Axios noted that Seattle's two Black Lives Matter murals have been preserved better than others across the United States. She wrote, "While some Black Lives Matter murals painted after the 2020 murder of George Floyd are getting paved over or worn away by traffic, Seattle has taken steps to restore its mural and make it permanent."[15] Jasmine Mahmoud of Black Arts Legacies called the mural "an enduring Seattle memorial" in mid-2023.[16]
