A Virginia man named Jake Van Yahres made a chalk drawing to promote unity at the Charlottesville intersection where a woman was killed in 2017.
Yahres modified the crosswalk markings using chalk so it looks like interlacing fingers.
Yahres says the fingers symbolize people of different races coming together.
He’s a Charlottesville native but he was in San Francisco when activist Heather Heyer was killed during demonstrations over a white supremacist rally two years ago.
Yahres says he wanted to create something to show Charlottesville is not a hate filled place.
