Over the weekend, a video surfaced the internet of a teenage girl vandalizing a beautiful painting of #Nipsey. The community surrounding the #Hartford Skate Park in Connecticut did not like the disrespect that was shown.
In less than 24 hours, the people gathered to restore the mural. It is said that at least 25 people came to assist with bringing the mural back to life. There were two women who painted over the graffiti and touched up the paint by the name of Deja Robertson and her mother.
The two women left a statement saying “Nipsey didn’t just mean a lot to my community, but to all urban communities. He preached black excellence, change and he empowered every person around every hood to find their purpose. A person like that should be celebrated forever in my opinion”.
We are so happy to hear that the mural of #Hussle has been restored and will continue to inspire the many people in the community.
