This weekend, downtown DC’s St. John’s Church will have local artists paint racial justice-themed murals on the plywood panels that were installed during the George Floyd protests. St. John’s is located on Black Lives Matter Plaza, and served as the backdrop for Donald Trump’s infamous bible photo op this June.

Artists will be painting the murals at the church this Saturday from 10 AM to 5 PM. The public is invited to join a dedication prayer service beforehand, and to stop by throughout the day to watch the painters work. Attendees can also add art of their own by contributing messages of “hope, love, and inspiration” to prayer wall canvasses on the H Street side of the church.

BLM and Antifa want a Civil War II in this country.

This is so that they can get their Communism started in this country.

These guys will never win and they have been given many $$$ by George Soros and other far left radical groups.

Absolutely anti-Christian. This is what happens when you let Satanic leftists get control of churches.

I wonder if an “All Lives Matter” would be accepted. Or an even simpler “Lives Matter”?

But this is to get in President Trump’s face for daring to use their burnt church as a backdrop. That really bothered them more than the fire.

Why on plywood?

APPEASERS! “An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.” ― Winston S. Churchill

So they can pile it up and burn it.

The plywood was installed on the doors/windows after the church was torched.

The article does not say who named it ‘black lives matter square’ or when it was renamed that, do you or any freepers know?

[Impy]

This is like if a chick gets raped and then has rapist’s name tattooed on her cleavage.

Is that Che Guevara?

“Black Lives Matter Plaza?” Is that the new name of Lafayette Park? When I went to high school in Washington, I was told it was a queer hangout.

DC mayor Muriel Bowser renamed it on June 5, 2020.

I don’t think it’s Lafayette Square per se; I believe it’s the street that is between I Street and H Street right in front of Lafayette Square. 16th Street NW was the old name of the street.

I have a racial justice idea obey the law and cooperate with the police.

Respect others as you would expect to be treated.
