Syracuse, N.Y. — The plan for a massive street painting in downtown Syracuse amid national protests has been postponed, according to an organizer with Last Chance for Change, the group in charge of the effort.
The group has taken over the effort from Anthony Marrone, a downtown lawyer who initially got city approval for a “Black Lives Matter” painting that would span two blocks on East Washington Street. The plan was for the street painting to be part of the Juneteenth celebrations Friday at 9 a.m.
But an organizer with Last Chance for Change said Thursday that the painting has been postponed, tentatively until Sunday.
The design has also changed. The new plan is to have four words stretching in each direction at the intersection of Montgomery and East Washington streets: “Redemption” to the north, “justice” to the east, “freedom” to the west and “unity” to the south.
In the center will be a painting of a clenched fist, the group’s logo.
Last Chance for Change has done daily protests, demonstrations and street clean-ups every day for more than two weeks. They are demanding police reform and other changes in light of the alleged murder by police of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
They wanted the street painting to reflect the group’s values and to be unique to Syracuse, instead of copying what other cities have done, organizers said.
