The street mural, just steps from the White House, is being removed after a Republican legislator threatened to withhold federal funding for DC unless the area was renamed "Liberty Plaza"

The 50-foot-wide mural sporting the term "Black Lives Matter" was created in Washington, D.C., following the 2020 death of George Floyd.

Crews have begun work to remove the large yellow “Black Lives Matter” painted on the street one block from the White House.
