Today Rep. Thierry addressed the Houston City Council and made a special request of Mayor Turner, Mayor Pro Tem, and the esteemed members of city council.
She asked for the painting of a street mural near “Hippy Hill” and Miller Outdoor Theater with the words “BLACK LIVES MATTER” as have been painted in major metropolitan cities across the country.
She also requested that the street adjacent to City Hall be renamed Black Lives Matter Blvd.
Rep. Thierry believes that with Houston being one of the most diverse cities in the nation, we must show our solidarity and support for criminal justice reform and we will not tolerate racism and police brutality for unlawful killing of our black residents.
