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.

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 as Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser struggles to fend off threats of encroachment from both President Donald Trump and the Republican-controlled Congress.

Washington, D.C.'s Black Lives Matter Plaza near the White House will be renamed due to funding cut threats.
