This project is a powerful testament to the movement that inspired the name, and stands as a memorial to all Black lives lost to police violence, and a reminder of DCs resilience after that day in June.
For months, the area was open to pedestrian traffic only, and a fence remained around Lafayette Park, where people left signs, which were collected by cultural institutions in DC.
