Once the bright yellow words “Black Lives Matter” appeared on two blocks of downtown Washington, D.C.’s 16th Street — now known as Black Lives Matter Plaza —  heading toward the White House, similar inspiring messages began popping up across the country.

Following the lead of the nation’s capital, cities all over America now boast street art inspired by the movement that you can check out on your next visit. Or, plan a road trip to see more than one.

Brooklyn
Along Brooklyn’s Fulton Street, the bright yellow painting of the words “Black Lives Matter” followed by wide, thick stripes is difficult to miss.

Austin
Visitors and locals to this uber popular city can now find “Black Austin Matters” painted along Congress Avenue (between 6th and 9th streets), heading to the Texas State Capitol.

Oakland
On the West Coast, Oakland, California’s, “#Black Lives Matter” street art covers three blocks of 15th Street in wide, spaced-out text.

Hollywood
In solidarity with LGBTQ+ and Black communities, the words “All Black Lives Matter” in a rainbow of colors appeared on Hollywood Boulevard, and may stay for the foreseeable future.

San Francisco
In San Francisco, volunteers painted “Black Lives Matter” along Fulton Street (between Webster and Octavia streets) in the now iconic yellow hue.

Seattle
In Seattle, the words “Black Lives Matter” can be seen in all sorts of fun colors and patterns along East Pine Street. The neighborhood near Cal Anderson Park is known as the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest territory and continues to see ongoing protests and demonstrations.

Cincinnati
Cincinnati commissioned artists to create a Black Lives Matter mural in a prominent section of the city.

Amansara Review

It was more than a car journey; it was a transition between worlds. At our first hotel in Siem Reap, huge coaches constantly pulled up outside the lobby to deposit or receive international tour groups; we departed in very different style, in a 1965 black Mercedes limousine once owned by King Sihanouk. The mundanities of mass tourism were left behind. We progressed through the chaotic Cambodian streets in regal comfort and soon arrived at a solid gate.
