The City of St. Petersburg in partnership with The Dr. Carter G. Woodson African American Museum celebrated Juneteenth 2020 with the unveiling of St. Petersburg’s Black Lives Matter mural curated and facilitated by the SHINE Mural Office. In the wake of George Floyd’s death at the hands of law enforcement, cities around the country used street art to declare solidarity with and support for Black lives in America. A diverse group of artists from Tampa Bay were commissioned to each paint a different letter on the street in front of the Woodson Museum.
