WASHINGTON – The shrill, metallic banging noises of a jack hammer echoed around the White House on Monday as crews started removing the large, yellow Black Lives Matter mural down the street from the president's home.

On Monday, March 10, DC crews began removing the Black Lives Matter mural from the 16th Street block in front of the White House. It was a sight to behold for Washingtonians who remember the iconic mural’s inception in June 2020. The famous DC block was the location of large-scale racial justice protests that followed the murder of George Floyd.
