“‘It’s been really good coming together for our city’ Damian Lair, one of the project organizers, told USA TODAY.

“Lair, who works in public relations, and Crissy Dastrup got the idea to paint a mural on his street after seeing similar murals in places like Washington. D.C. Many other cities have seen street murals honoring the Black Lives Matter movement in the months since George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis, but he said Kansas City organizers have looked at all other projects and haven’t found any that match the scope of theirs.”
