The City of Prairie View is taking to the streets today to demonstrate the belief that “Black Lives Matter.”

Mayor David Allen teamed up with Prairie View A&M University’s School of Architecture to design a template and paint a street mural that reads “Black Lives Matter.”

The mayor chose University Blvd., or Sandra Bland Parkway, where Sandra Bland was arrested, as the location for the permanent mural.

“Students and alumni, leaving and coming into [the PVAMU] campus can read it and know that, in Prairie View, we’re doing our part to spread the message,” said Allen.

Staff and students from PVAMU’s Fabrication Center created templates and renderings for the mural, which will be 12-feet wide and 19-feet tall, with three-feet of spacing in between.
