L.O.V.E. Mural Completed In Community Collaboration

FALLS TOWNSHIP, PA —Community members spread the L.O.V.E. in completing a mural at Falls Township Community Park on Saturday.

Students from the Pennsbury School District joined Falls Township police, artists and volunteers to put the finishing touches on the "L.O.V.E. is the Answer" mural as part of the 4th annual global day of spreading L.O.V.E. Also on hand were graffiti artists Mike Fink, Joe DePaul, and Nick Monte.

The community artists used spray paint and other materials to cover the walls with bright colors and designs in addition to the L.O.V.E. Pledge.

This movement, originally designed to improve and reconcile tension between law enforcement and the communities they serve, has a mission to spread peace, understanding, validation, and positivity all over the world, the school district stated in its Facebook post.

"Shout out to Pennsbury student artists Alexis H, Izzy G, and Clare D for all their hard work and dedication to this project," school officials said. "A special thanks as well to Tom Smith, schools superintendent, and Pennsbury school board directors Jeannine Delwiche and Joanna Steere for helping out."

The Falls Township Police Department was chosen by The Peace Center as the second Bucks County law enforcement agency to create the mural.

L.O.V.E. Is The Answer is a growing nationwide movement created by internationally known A.J. Ali, an actor, television host, director, producer and writer.

His latest award-winning film, "Walking While Black: L.O.V.E. Is The Answer," and his new book, L.O.V.E. Is The Answer, are helping to improve relations between police and people of color nationwide, and are used in workshops and other training programs that he developed.
