Die demokratische Bürgermeisterin von Washington Muriel Bowser hat den Platz vor dem Weißen Haus soeben Black Lives Matter-Plaza getauft. Bisher musste besagte Kreuzung ganz ohne Namen auskommen. Zudem ziert den Asphalt der Straße, welche direkt zum Weißen Haus führt, ein überdimensionaler Black Lives Matter-Schriftzug in riesigen gelben Lettern!

The mural spans two blocks of 16th street and was commissioned by the city’s mayor, Muriel Bowser. The installation has sparked both praise as a sign of solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement, and also criticism from the DC chapter of the movement itself, calling the mural “performative" as Mayor Bowser has consistently failed to meet their demands to defund the city’s police force. Protests in Washington have been ongoing for more than a week in response to the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officers. . Source imagery @maxartechnologies
