Paint Was Thrown at the Black Lives Matter Mural
A few weeks ago, the community was invited to participate in a mural outside of The Owl’s Head. See here.
Someone with didn’t like the message of the mural, threw white paint on the mural. While we understand that racist didn’t like the message that Black Lives Matter, that person also showed they have no decency. Defacing property and destroying art that a community worked on is low.
But the message of Black Lives Matter will just become stronger because of this racist act.
Bay Ridge parents did what they always do – offered their help! They cheerfully offered to help fix the mural, buy supplies and offer continuous support to keep the art looking good. Why? Because they are community builders – their children live here and this matters. And Black Lives Matter!
Update: They are meeting at the Owl’s Head today, Saturday, June 20th between 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM to fix the mural.
Hugs,
