The Graffiti Alley in Toronto, Canada, near Queen Street West and Spadina Avenue, is a tourist hotspot covered with resplendent and bright paintings, sketches, and graffiti.

However, in the recent past, the conventionally dazzling alley has been repainted and has transformed into a sombre tribute to the Black Lives Matter movement.

The artworks, murals, and paintings now represent heroes and symbols of the African-American community. Artists now have painted figures of Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, and George Floyd, who is wearing a black band across his mouth with the words ‘I can’t breathe’ written across. The artist, however, added the words ‘But we can hear you’ around his face.

Here is a beautiful artwork of Martin Luther King Jr.:
