Road crews got to work on Monday destroying a massive street mural with painted lettering that read, “Black Lives Matter,” leading directly to the White House in Washington, D.C.
In videos and pictures that surfaced on X, construction workers with large construction equipment such as skip loaders started jack-hammering the 35-foot bright yellow letters of Black Lives Matter Plaza, which were initially constructed along 16th Street NW, just down the street from the White House, following the death of George Floyd in 2020.

Fox News’s <a href="https://x.com/KatiePavlich/status/1899132556101976200">Katie Pavlich</a> wrote on X, “Black Lives Matter Plaza is being dismantled in Washington D.C.” Her post included videos of a machine tearing into the brick road and breaking up the bright yellow mural with the words “Black Lives Matter” painted on the strip of road that went for blocks. 
In another shot, a construction worker uses some kind of tool to continue breaking up the road.
<a href="https://x.com/libsoftiktok/status/1899112407647076638">Libs of TikTok wrote</a>, “After Trump demanded action and threatened to withhold funding:
– DC cleared out homeless encampments last week
– Black Lives Matter Plaza torn down today
Trump is making our Nation’s capital safe and beautiful again!”
One <a href="https://x.com/FordFischer/status/1899081363589911022">viral post</a> shared on social media read, “Right now: work crews just North of the White House to dismantle Black Lives Matter Plaza, 4.5 years since receiving this designation by DC local government. DC Mayor Bowser agreed to retire BLM Plaza following threats to federal funding from Congress.”
Several accounts noted that “America is Healing,” with one post that <a href="https://x.com/nicksortor/status/1899085434313113823">read</a>, “NOW: Crews have been deployed to Black Lives Matter Plaza outside the White House to DISMANTLE it. America is FINALLY healing!”
<a href="https://x.com/Huberton/status/1899133777143800197">One video</a> captured the machines ripping out the numerous <a href="https://x.com/OliLondonTV/status/1899139742752559590">black poles</a> in the road that lined both sides of the pathway.
The dismantling of the BLM Plaza comes after Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA) proposed the city would lose federal funds from the government if it was not renamed to &#8220;Liberty Plaza,&#8221; as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/sanity-is-making-a-comeback" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a>. Following the comments, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser agreed to take apart the two-block-long plaza.
Bowser later shared a post on <a href="https://x.com/MayorBowser/status/1897039109434364388">X</a> that read, “The mural inspired millions of people and helped our city through a very painful period, but now we can’t afford to be distracted by meaningless congressional interference.”
Work will soon get underway to reconstruct the area with a project dedicated to celebrating the country’s 250th Anniversary next year, the <a href="https://freebeacon.com/politics/watch-dc-crew-begins-dismantling-black-lives-matter-plaza/">Free Beacon</a> noted.
