D.C.’s Black Lives Matter Plaza to Be RedesignedHannah Knudsen 5 Mar 2025
The Black Lives Matter plaza in Washington, DC, is set to be redesigned, according to D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser (D).
Bowser made the announcement Tuesday.
“We have long considered Black Lives Matter Plaza’s evolution and the plaza will be part of DC’s America 250 mural project, where we will invite students and artists to create new murals across all eight wards,” she announced.
“The mural inspired millions of people and helped our city through a very painful period, but now we can’t afford to be distracted by meaningless congressional interference,” Bowser continued.
“The devastating impacts of the federal job cuts must be our number one concern,” she continued. “Our focus is on economic growth, public safety, and supporting our residents affected by these cuts.”

Black Lives Matter Plaza has reigned supreme along 16th Street NW since 2020, coming together during the widespread protests and riots following the death of George Floyd. The plaza, Fox 5 noted, was “officially completed” the following year.
At the time, Bowser said they “transformed the mural into a monument.”
