BLM Street Mural removed early 2025
“Dear PoPville,
Please No: Bill Introduced to Rename BLM Plaza to Charlie Kirk Freedom Plaza”
Yesterday Rep. Nancy Mace shared the incendiary post on X:
“INTRODUCING: The Charlie Kirk Freedom of Speech Plaza Act to rename the designated “Black Lives Matter Plaza” in Washington DC.
Today marks three months since Charlie Kirk was assassinated in cold blood. He was a peaceful leader who stood for free speech, open conversation, faith and family values.
The BLM movement is a t*rrorist organization who targeted our law enforcement, rioted in our streets, looted and burned cities to the ground.
One deserves to have memorials and recognition. You decide which.”
Note, November 4th, 2020: “A quiet morning at Black Lives Matter plaza in front of the White House.”
Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton defended DC with the following reply:
“DC deserves to decide what its own streets are named, Rep. Mace.
700K+ people live here. DC is not a blank slate for Congress to fill in as it pleases.”
