Some Washingtonians are displeased after learning the days are numbered for the current look of the Black Lives Matter Plaza situated near the White House. 

Protesters were at the plaza on Tuesday night, FOX 5 DC reported, after Mayor Muriel Bowser posted about the “evolution” of the plaza to X, saying it will be a part of DC’s America 250 mural project, “where we will invite students and artists to create new murals across all eight wards.”

“The mural inspired millions of people and helped our city through a painful period, but now we can’t afford to be distracted by meaningless congressional interference,” Bowser’s statement said, referencing a recently-introduced bill that calls for changing the plaza.”The devastating impacts of the federal job cuts must be our number one concern.”

Some say the democratic mayor succumbed to pressure from both President Donald Trump and the Republican-controlled Congress.

Bowser’s approach to the protests brought her into direct conflict with Trump. The president at the time accused Bowser of losing control of her city and threatened to invoke his power to take over the Metropolitan Police Department. He didn’t follow through, but declared his own multi-agency lockdown that included helicopters flying at low altitudes.

“You never cared about Black Lives Mattering. You painting those words were performative,” Nee Nee Taylor, a founding member of the D.C. Black Lives Matter affiliate, said to Bowser on X.

Bowser’s office did not immediately respond to a Fox News Digital inquiry about when the changes to the plaza might take place.
