Lake Worth Beach's Unity Wall finds the controversy it was trying to avoid
"A rebellion of sorts against the All Lives Matter mural forced organizers, who are all Black, to reverse course. On Tuesday, volunteers painted over the words while leaving the depictions of Frederick Douglass, John Lewis, Barack Obama and Martin Luther King Jr.untouched."What could be more unifying than "All Lives Matter?"
Carla Blockson, newly appointed commissioner in Lake Worth District 2 and chairwoman of the Unity Wall's Art Committee, said "We understand that everyone makes mistakes and missteps, but to admit your mistakes and move forward together, that's what we've done" as they painted over the All Lives Matter slogan.
This was not a misstep; it wasn't political nor was it a mistake. All lives do matter and it should to the organizers of the UNITY WALL.
