The 50-foot-wide mural sporting the term "Black Lives Matter" was created in Washington, D.C., following the 2020 death of George Floyd.

The street mural, just steps from the White House, is being removed after a Republican legislator threatened to withhold federal funding for DC unless the area was renamed "Liberty Plaza"

Republican legislation threatened to withhold millions in federal funding if the city did not remove the Black Lives Matter mural.
