Starting this week, the big Black Lives Matter mural Downtown, along the Allegheny River beneath the Fort Duquesne Bridge, is getting a facelift. And it includes at least a few faces you might recognize.
Last weekend, artist Camerin “Camo” Nesbit and three assistants began what is expected to be the two-week process of revising the mural, which began life last year as a guerrilla art project in response to the police killing of George Floyd.

Nesbit is the resident artist for Riverlife, the nonprofit organization working to enliven the Riverwalk there, which is frequented by bicyclists, runners and sightseers, and is plainly visible from the north bank of the river occupied by PNC Park.
