Washington, D.C. officials have now dismantled a monument to Black Lives Matter (BLM) that was intended to be a “permanent” symbol of the leftist movement.

Construction workers on Monday completed the removal of Black Lives Matter Plaza from Washington, D.C.’s 16th Street in front of the White House following weeks of demolition, photos and videos show. Democratic Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser had the road emblazoned with “Black Lives Matter” in large yellow lettering following BLM protests in Washington in 2020, but agreed to demolish it after President Donald Trump returned to the White House and Congress threatened to revoke D.C. funding if it remained.

“Less than one month ago, I introduced legislation to force D.C. to remove Black Lives Matter Plaza,” Republican Rep. Andrew Clyde of Georgia said Monday in an X post. “Today, BLM Plaza is officially GONE.”

“We’re making our nation’s capital great again!” Clyde said, joining one of many celebratory reactions by conservatives online.

Bowser began building the plaza in June 2020 after BLM protesters had wreaked havoc on Washington in May, after George Floyd died in police custody in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Mobs of people attempted to storm the White House, injured law enforcement, vandalized businesses and historic monuments and more in the weeks following Floyd’s death. The protesters also set a church on fire in May 2020 The church is adjacent to where the plaza stood and near the White House.

Bowser’s office said in 2021 that the city built the $4.8 million project to show solidarity after federal law enforcement and National Guard troops used tear gas to disperse demonstrators “protesting police brutality and racial injustice.” Her office called the plaza a “permanent” structure to send “a strong message that Black Lives Matter, and that power has always been and always will be with well-meaning people.”

Rep. Clyde previously told the Daily Caller News Foundation that D.C. shouldn’t be “honoring” a “pro-crime” movement by naming a piece of the town after it.

“I mean, think if you are an MPD officer and you go by that every solitary day, what does that tell you? This city hates me,” Clyde said.
