Black Lives Matter Plaza dismantled

Construction workers began removing Washington, D.C.'s Black Lives Matter Plaza mural after Mayor Muriel Bowser pledged to redesign the plaza in response to Republican threats to cut the city's transportation funding unless it was renamed.

Reuters producer Gavino Garay was on the scene as workers drilled away the two-block pedestrian stretch of painted yellow letters spelling "BLACK LIVES MATTER" just north of the White House.
