BLACK LIVES MATTER: DC transforms part of 16th Street near the @WhiteHouse into Black Lives Matter Plaza.
Artists painted a massive BLM mural between H and K Streets in response to #GeorgeFloyd and #PoliceBrutality protests @wusa9 @MayorBowser #GetUpDC #BlackLivesMatter
My colleague @KolbieReports captured @DCDPW hanging this sign along the street this morning. Head to her page for more images and videos. @wusa9 #GetUpDC
Hot Take: @DMVBlackLives is not here for it.
The social justice organization is calling the mural and street renaming “performative” and “a distraction” as they push for @MayorBowser to decrease the @DCPoliceDept budget. @wusa9 #GetUpDC #GeorgeFloyd #BlackLivesMatter
Wow. This photo really puts things into perspective. #BlackLivesMatter is literally painted on the road leading up to the #WhiteHouse. It certainly sends a huge message to the nation from DC. @wusa9 #GetUpDC
To be clear: This image is meant as a graphic that shows perspective of where the #BlackLivesMatter mural sits in relation to the White House.
