Unit 3: Black Lives Matter (Tle G6_gr2)

Black Lives Matter Mural Plaza Dismantled

The document under study is a news report about the dismantling of the Black Lives Matter Mural in Washington DC in March 2025. Indeed, the Trump administration put pressure on the mayor of DC to remove it, otherwise the city would have lost federal funding. Nevertheless, the mayor (Muriel Bowser) had said that she already had planned to reconstruct the plaza before receiving the pressure from the Trump administration.

People there were very sad and angry. Some others were collecting pieces of the plaza as a souvenir. As a result, these people seemed to be worried for the future.

To conclude, they did not know what they would do next, some discussions were supposed to take place in the following summer. Since then, this place had taken back its former name: 16^th street.

Homework: Learn the lesson.
