Crews have begun work to remove the large yellow “Black Lives Matter” painted on the street one block from the White House.D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser announced the change last week in response to pressure from activists Republicans in Congress.

D.C. began dismantling Black Lives Matter Plaza on Monday, less than a week after Mayor Muriel Bowser announced it would be transformed. Why it matters: The mural near the White House went up in summer 2020 to protest police brutality and as a rebuke to President Trump in his first term.

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.
