DC paints huge Black Lives Matter message near White House
City workers and activists painted the words Black Lives Matter in enormous bright yellow letters on the street leading to the White House, a highly visible sign of the District of Columbia's embrace of a protest movement that has put it at odds with President Donald Trump.D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser tweeted aerial video of the message shortly after it was completed Friday. The letters and an image of the city's flag stretch across 16th Street for two blocks, ending just before the church where Trump staged a photo-op after federal officers forcibly cleared a peaceful demonstration to make way for the president and his entourage.바카라 게임 웹사이트The section of 16th street in front of the White House is now officially 바카라 게임 웹사이트Black Lives Matter Plaza,바카라 게임 웹사이트바카라 게임 웹사이트 Bowser tweeted.
