**Washington, D.C.** – A large yellow “Black Lives Matter” street mural located near the White House has been removed by city workers. The removal, ordered by Mayor Muriel Bowser, comes in response to threatened funding cuts from Republican members of Congress who opposed the mural. The mural, a prominent symbol of the Black Lives Matter movement, had been painted on the street earlier this year. The city’s decision has sparked renewed debate surrounding the issue of racial justice and political funding.
