Black Lives Matter Plaza is now a permanent fixture of DC’s streetscape. The mural, painted onto the stretch of 16th Street, Northwest between K and H streets in June 2020, was the site of racial justice protests, which inspired the 48-foot monument.
The construction project kicked off in July with a $4.8 million price tag. Pedestrians can now stroll through a walkway that runs down the center of the plaza, sandwiched between traffic lanes on each side of the mural.
The mural’s bold yellow words were beginning to fade when the plaza was paved over in May. To make them permanent, the city used thermoplastic road-marking paint. Another $3 million is slated to go towards benches, lighting, and signage around the site.

Yup, permanent, like them thar Confederate monuments.
It will be overrun with crime shortly, if it is not already. Kinda like MLK Boulevards everywhere.
So when do we get to paint Trump Won on Pennsylvania Avenue?
Institutional racism at its finest.
The wilding grounds after midnight.
They are racist until they install the George Floyd statue there.
You think all the immigrants from south of the border and Muslim countries are going to demand different slogans be painted in 20 years? Irony.
Makes DC statehood more appealing, a Mecca for flyover country.
In 20 years? I give it 7 or 8 years.
“Black Lives Matter Plaza Is Now a Permanent Installation”
I must be getting tired: at first i read that as “Black Lives Matter PIZZA”, which actually seemed like a pretty good idea ...
“Everything woke turns to sh*t”. PDJT!!!!!!!!
They could paint that on every street in Chicago....
... Well, uh, probably not. Way too dangerous for the painters.
Might have to paint over a corpse. The ‘possum painted by the street striper comes to mind.
“Racial justice” my a—
This was the site of communist krystal nacht protests in the US.
So the Black Lives Matter Plaza is a permanent thing. So is my country cousin Clem’s “Outhouse” and both of them are full of shit.
Bowser is a worse Mayor than crackhead Marion Barry.
A Turd in a Toilet. What a Surprise...
