The nation's capital city will remove the large painting of the words “Black Lives Matter” on a street one block from the White House. The move comes as Washington's Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser struggles to fend off threats of encroachment from President Donald Trump and the Republican-controlled Congress.
D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser signaled the city’s intent to paint over a street slogan at Black Lives Matter Plaza that has long drawn GOP ire.
The mayor’s announcement represents a remarkable retreat from her defiant posture toward President Donald Trump during his first term.
Trump said that the priority would be to clean up the encampments near the White House and the State Department.
WASHINGTON - The famous Black Lives Matter Plaza near the White House will soon look very different. Instead of the bold, yellow mural that’s been there since 2020, the plaza will be replaced with fresh artwork created by local students and artists, as part of a new city project celebrating the nation’s 250th anniversary.
