Pro-Black Lives Matter, LGBTQ+ graffiti replaces racist slogan in Northamptonshire underpass

The new graffiti supporting the Black Lives Matter and the LGBTQ+ community

'All Lives Matter, not BLM' had been written on the walls last month before being painted over

Pro-Black Lives Matter and LGBTQ+ graffiti have appeared in the Northamptonshire underpass where a racist slogan was found last month.

'Black Lives Matter' and 'Black and LGBTQ+ Lives Matter' has been spray-painted in the alley under the A45 near Earls Barton.

'All Lives Matter, not BLM' has been scrawled on the same walls in June but has since been painted over.

Ioana Diac, who lives in the village and found both graffiti on walks, said she was delighted to see something supporting the global equality movement.

'All lives matter' has been used by white supremacists and counter protestors to the Black Lives Matter campaign which has spread across the globe since George Floyd's death in the United States.

BLM protests have been held across Northamptonshire while the county's rights and equality council has published a nine-point plan on how to tackle racial inequality.
