ELIZABETH CITY, N.C.â Michael Little designed Elizabeth Cityâs Black Lives Matter street mural, proudly leaving his mark on his hometown.
With the help of several artists like Jimmy Bones, Little painted the mural on East Colonial Avenue in front of the Pasquotank County Sheriffâs Department after winning a city-sponsored design contest.
