From an email:
“As a Black Owned Business, Interactive Outdoor Solutions, aka AArrow Sign Spinners, wanted to show support for DC’s Historically famous black owned business as well as a cause that is deep to our hearts. Ben’s Chili Bowl survived the ’68 riots by boarding up their store front and spray painting ” Black Owned” across the plywood as did Lee’s Florists right down the block. These two businesses survived the riots of 68 and then were just a few of the businesses in the U Street area as the area was extremely slow to redevelop following the riots.
Be on the lookout AArrow Sign Spinners will be posted about DC with these BLM signs!”

Thanks to TS for sending – done with climbing rope!
