Volunteers can't repaint a Black Lives Matter mural on a main street in Flint, city officials said.
But the state's transportation department said they aren't preventing the project.
Edwards did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment, nor did the Flint chapter of Black Lives Matter.
However, a spokesperson from the Michigan Department of Transportation denied Edwards' claim that the department would shut down the street, The Flint Journal reported.
Black Lives Matter murals across the state have previously been vandalized.
