BLM Street- Washington, DC

In the spring of 2020, in the midst of the Covid lock down, George Floyd was murdered by a cop in broad daylight in the streets and the whole neighborhood watched this horrific moment.  Regretfully one citizen alleged that Floyd had ripped him off for $20.  The cop stepped in to address the allegation and he became the arresting officer, the judge, the jury and the elocutionist.

The rest of America exploded in anger and hundreds of protests were held around the country. murderedAt that time, I saw a country that had finally acknowledge that racism is real and deadly. I really thought things were going to change for the better.

A first step to bring awareness to the moment was the installation of a Black Lives Matter (BLM) pavement near the White House.  People from all over the country came here to celebrate this recognition.

Today, the mayor of Washington, DC ripped this street up to accommodate Trump's hate. We have made no progress.
