Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser suggested the city will be painting over Black Lives Matter Plaza after Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA) proposed withholding federal funds to Washington if it is not renamed.

Black Lives Matter Plaza, the two blocks of 16th Street near the White House in Washington was designated as such in June 2020 amid protests following the death of George Floyd. The plaza features the phrase “Black Lives Matter” written in yellow paint along the road.
