Local News June 30, 2020Drive down Main Street in Cortland today and you’ll find a special “Black Lives Matter” mural painted at the intersection of Court Street, etching the city’s official support of the nationwide injustice movement into pavement.
A local community member first requested and personally paid for the initiative.
Cortland Common Council approved an official resolution on June 16 specifying the location of the project to be at the intersection of Main and Court Streets.
The painting was done by local volunteer artists who started around 10 pm and worked through the night, joined by dozens of local residents, activists and government officials.
