Crosswalk murals reading “All Black Lives Matter” will be painted at six South Dallas intersections. The nonprofit Abounding Prosperity is paying for their installation and maintenance after the Dallas City Council gave the unanimous OK on Wednesday. The agreement will last the next 10 years.

Here’s a map of where they’ll go, and a rough illustration of the art:
