WEST ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) City officials in West St. Paul are demanding a man remove a colorful Black Lives Matter mural from his fence because it violates code.
Ryan Weyandt commissioned the mural for his wooden fence last summer, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported Friday. The mural contains the words “Black Lives Matter” and bears the face of 2020 mayor candidate Kimetha Johnson, the first Black person to run for municipal office in the city s history.
City spokesman Dan Nowicki said an ordinance prohibits pictures or letters on fences and requires fences to be one color. He said the city has received more than 20 complaints about the mural since September.
