Black Lives Matter painted on DC street - view from above

Last edited Fri Jun 5, 2020, 12:14 PM - Edit history (1)

Thought this deserved an OP

Edit to add: This appears to be taken from the Top of The Hay, an event space on top of the Hay Adams Hotel. I've worked more than a few wedding receptions there.

An adjacent street, or one behind the White House, should be named,

"Bunker-boy Boulevard."

That would frost his cookies.

So much of politics is symbolic, and made of battles over narrative. This show of solidarity is quite impressive!
Mayor Bower, et al, deserve accolades for this.

Trolling tRump has given us on a lift, but this is only a gesture. More things of substance need to be done.
