Resurfacing of Rosalind Road will see end of Black Lives Matter mural

Black Lives Matter Day is celebrated annually on February 26 in remembrance of Trayvon Martin, an African American teen who was killed by a white American out of hatred. The acquittal of George Zimmerman, from the murder charge and roaming free caused a wave of widespread anger which led to nationwide campaigns centered around fairness and justice for Black people. Black Lives Matter is a chant against racial discrimination and violence toward black people. Join in the movement to end discrimination and declare equality for all.
