Raleigh, N.C. A new work of art in Raleigh's Five Points neighborhood is sure to catch your eye the next time you drive through.

At the intersection in Raleigh, you'll notice familiar faces.

Those faces were placed on top of the Shops at 1700 building Friday as a showcase of solidarity. Among the people now covering the edges of the roof are Michael Brown, Jordan Baker, Trayvon Martin and Tamir Rice. On the other side of the building are Eric Garner, George Floyd, Breona Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery.

Its great for one thing. Its part of getting together. Just hope everyone gets on one accord and gets together," said Five Points resident Edgar Cross.

Many who live in the neighborhood are just starting to notice the posters and believe its a great way to spread awareness.

"(It's) such a great response to see here in a very conservative neighborhood that doesnt have any murals yet.I think it speaks high volumes of education and what we want our community to reflect as well as our downtown community," said Carolyn Walker, a Five Points resident.

So far, the posters have spoken far louder than expected.

I think thats the purpose of it, to make change," said Cross.

The owner of the building said the posters will stay in place as long as they last.
