On Monday, March 10, DC crews began removing the Black Lives Matter mural from the 16th Street block in front of the White House. It was a sight to behold for Washingtonians who remember the iconic mural’s inception in June 2020.

Black Lives Matter Plaza was officially declared a permanent monument in October 2021.
