In the summer of 2020, in the early days of the Capitol Hill Organized Protest (CHOP), the VividMatterCollective artist collective created a Black Lives Matter street mural in front of Cal Anderson Park. As Jasmyne Keimig wrote at the time, "It's an extremely welcome and colorful addition to the new neighborhood that was, until earlier this week, mired in tear gas canisters, riot shields, smoke from flash-bangs, and a militarized police presence that added a tangible cloud of anxiety to the neighborhood. The mural reminds every person that passes of the fundamental root of the autonomous zone: Black Lives Matter." It has since been preserved for posterity.
