On the morning of Tuesday, June 9, 2020, Charlotteans woke up to a bold new mural being painted on a prominent stretch of South Tryon Street that read “Black Lives Matter.” Inspired by similar murals in Washington, DC and other cities, a group of Charlotte artists and organizers came together within a matter of hours to create their own homage to the movement.

What makes Charlotte’s mural unique, however, is that each letter is designed and painted by a different artist. The result is stunning. **Andy Goh**, co-producer of The Biscuit Podcast CLT, was on site to interview artists, organizers and bystanders about how they felt during this historic event in Uptown Charlotte.

This project was a result of a collaboration between the **City of Charlotte, Charlotte Is Creative, Brand the Moth** and **BLKMRKTCLT**. 22 artists designed and painted the letters with help from fellow creatives.
