Painting peace from bloody history of Manhattan street

Artist Chen Dongfan's mission in life is to let more Asian voices be heard through art, so he spent eight days painting an asphalt mural directly onto 445 square meters of Doyers Street in Manhattan's Chinatown.

Early in the 20th century, Doyers Street earned the nickname of the Bloody Angle because of the street gang violence and murders that took place there.

Chen read one description that said residents had to wash the blood off the street with water every morning.
