WORCESTER, MASS. (WHDH) - Worcester has become the latest city to paint a Black Lives Matter mural in the street.
The multi-colored mural is being painted on the corner of Major Taylor and Martin Luther King Jr. boulevards.
Nearly 100 volunteers gathered Wednesday morning to measure out the mural’s enormous letters.
Artists will begin painting the mural today and continue their work on Thursday.
“Right now, we have to recognize that there are Black and brown people across this country who are in danger and we are recognizing that by coming together in an act of symbolism,” Worcester City Councilor Sean Rose said.
Rose added that more than $20,000 was raised for the project.
