Adamsdown councillor Owen Jones told WalesOnline the he is "delighted that Unify Creative’s latest mural has come to Adamsdown".
He said: "These are wonderful, striking and powerful images that promote such positive messages. Very proud to see this collaboration with the Urdd in the heart of the capital city. Moira Terrace is a thoroughfare for traffic, this mural has lifted the street scene overnight and will be seen by hundreds of commuters daily. The message is one that we should all be adhering to. Call racism out. Galw. Nhw. Allan."
