Community members gathered to paint New Haven's first "Black Lives Matter" mural on Bassett Street Saturday, Sept. 19, 2020, in New Haven's Newhallville neighborhood. The collaborative mural, brought to life by local visual artist and muralist Kwadwo Adae and the City of New Haven, was in graffiti-style lettering because of Newhallville's history of graffiti and hip hop. "I am so profoundly grateful and overjoyed that a community would trust me to take on a project like that in this way," Adae said. "It's New Haven's first 'Black Lives Matter' mural, and I'm really glad that my collaborative mural experience was something that they wanted to do, wanted to utilize."
