A spokesperson for D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser confirmed to NBC Washington that the Black Lives Matter Plaza will be rennamed. There’s no timeline yet for the change.

Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser said on Tuesday the Black Lives Matter Plaza near the White House will be redesigned as part of a new mural project after threats by Republicans to cut transportation funding if the plaza was not renamed.

A Black Lives Matter street mural in Washington, D.C., that was installed during the racial justice protests in 2020 may be painted over, Mayor Muriel Bowser said.
