The City of Fayetteville, North Carolina, began with the official removal of a Black Lives Matter (BLM) mural Monday.
The mural was first placed in the summer 2020 after nationwide BLM protests in the aftermath of the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota. City leaders voted unanimously to allow the mural. It was an attempt to help with the BLM protest and to add more art to the historic district, ABC 11 reported.
The artwork was placed encircling the Market House in downtown Fayetteville. The Market House previously operated as an establishment where enslaved men and woman were bought and sold during the 1800s, according to WRAL. It was declared a national historic landmark in 1973.
