(AmericanProsperity.com) – Millions of Americans are celebrating a massive victory as Washington D.C. has begun removing the controversial Black Lives Matter Plaza near the White House.
Watch the video down below.
Democrat Mayor Muriel Bowser’s about-face marks a stunning triumph over woke ideology in the nation’s capital.
The 2020 mural, which spelled “BLACK LIVES MATTER” in bright yellow letters across two blocks, is being dismantled after Republican lawmakers threatened to withhold transportation funding from the city.
Construction crews arrived with jackhammers and barriers to begin the six-to-eight-week process of removing the politically charged landmark.
Originally ordered by Bowser in June 2020 during the height of riots following George Floyd’s death, the plaza had become a symbol of the divisive racial politics that swept the nation under the Biden administration.
House Representative Andrew Clyde (R-GA) spearheaded the effort to remove the mural through legislation that would withhold federal funding unless the city took action.
His H.R. 1774 bill aimed to rename the area “Liberty Plaza” and return it to its original state.
“Our capital city must serve as a beacon of freedom, patriotism, and safety — not wokeness, divisiveness, and lawlessness,” said Clyde.
Bowser, who initially commissioned the mural as a direct challenge to then-President Donald Trump, announced the removal as part of an “evolution” toward America’s 250th birthday celebrations.
While claiming the decision was part of a citywide mural project rather than capitulation to Republican demands, the timing aligned perfectly with the renewed threats to cut city funding.
The removal comes as President Trump has taken decisive action against leftist ideology in federal institutions.
Since returning to office, the president has systematically dismantled diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives throughout government agencies and the military and even pressured private businesses to abandon such programs.
“We have ended the tyranny of so-called diversity, equity and inclusion policies all across the entire federal government and, indeed, the private sector and our military. And our country will be woke no longer,” President Trump declared.
Millions of Americans have celebrated the mural’s removal as a sign of positive change.
Chaya Raichik, known for running the popular “Libs of TikTok” social media account, summed up the sentiment of many patriots by simply stating: “The world is healing.”
Ironically, even the D.C. chapter of Black Lives Matter had criticized the mural when it was first created, calling it a publicity stunt and distraction from meaningful policy reforms.
The organization, which gained momentum during the 2020 riots, has faced scrutiny over its finances and leadership, with multiple investigations questioning how millions in donations were spent.
The mural’s removal process is extensive, with crews not merely painting over the letters but physically jackhammering the pavement.
Traffic barriers, orange cones, and yellow tape now mark where protestors once gathered.
The thoroughfare, which sits just blocks from the White House, will be completely transformed as the nation prepares for America’s 250th birthday celebrations.
For many Americans who watched as riots and unrest spread across major cities in 2020, the dismantling of the Black Lives Matter Plaza represents a return to order and unity.
