Painted on the road in bright yellow block letters, the mural was painted on June 5, 2020 by the DC Public Works Department during the George Floyd protests. The capital letters are 35 feet tall, very striking up close. It is part of the Black Lives Matter Plaza which was officially named on the same day. The mural has also influenced other cities to paint similar murals on high-traffic streets.
