Cambridge BLM mural gets fresh coat of paint, brings unity to community

CAMBRIDGE, Md.- The Cambridge Black Lives Matter mural got a fresh coat of paint Saturday afternoon in an effort to bring the community together.

Art lovers of all ages came together on the 400 block of the historic Race Street, the artwork’s home since 2020.

After two years, artist Miriam Moran says it was time give the mural some TLC and create memories along the way.

Moran also tells us although the creation is getting a fresh look, its message remains the same. “Doing this and having everybody come together and shine light to what really matters right now. It’s to shine light on what’s happening to our community,” Moran said.

“When you do something from the inside that’s when it kind of captivates in a much more bigger way.”

Moran adds she also has more art initiatives in the works for the future and looks forward to continuing her mission of bring unity to the community.
