Councilman Mitch O'Farrell is pushing for a permanent 'All Black Lives Matter' memorial in Hollywood.
O'Farrell has not yet specified the type of memorial he wants, Monday, O’Farrell ordered that crews stop efforts to remove the mural-like words “All Black Lives Matter” that were painted on Hollywood Boulevard between Highland Avenue and Orange Drive for the march.
“We had a once-in-a-generation moment this weekend in Hollywood as tens of thousands gathered for a peaceful demonstration on one of the most recognizable boulevards in America,” O’Farrell said. “We now have a chance to memorialize the movement in a meaningful way. I look forward to working with the Black LGBTQIA Action Committee and other community members on this project.”
UPDATE: I have ordered crews to stop the removal of the ALL BLACK LIVES MATTER art installation on #Hollywood Blvd. Repairs will now be made so its powerful message can continue resonating from #Hollywood to the rest of the world. #AllBlackLivesMatter(1/2) pic.twitter.com/7eEYLokY0H

June 16, 2020 The rainbow-colored street-art of “All Black Lives Matter” words painted on Hollywood Boulevard was a collaboration between members of the action committee and Hollywood-based entertainment marketing company Trailer Park Group, led by CEO Rick Eiserman. O’Farrell partnered with the group on the permits for the installation.
