PRAIRIE VIEW MURAL COMPLETED
The City of Prairie View now has a permanent “Black Lives Matter” street mural on display.
Prairie View Mayor David Allen pushed to have the permanent mural in place by Juneteenth, and Prairie View A&M University students, faculty and staff joined the effort to make it a reality.

The mural is located on University Blvd, also known as Sandra Bland Parkway in Prairie View. Mayor Allen says he chose this street because it was where Bland was arrested in 2015.
The northbound lanes of the mural were completed on Day 1 of the project, and the southbound lanes were completed by Friday.
Each letter of the design stands 12-feet wide by 19-feet tall.
