Muriel Bowser, the mayor of Washington DC, instructed city employees to paint ‘Black Lives Matter’ in giant yellow letters on a street just north of the White House ahead of a huge protest scheduled for Saturday.

Beginning at 3 a.m. this morning, muralists and crews of workers from the city’s department of transportation and department of public works began painting 35-foot letters on 16th street, a spokesperson from mayor Muriel Bowser’s office told Motherboard.
