Bill De Blasio Paints Black Lives Matter Mural Outside Trump Tower After President Calls It ‘Symbol Of Hate’
Despite Donald Trump‘s protestations that it’s a “symbol of hate,” a massive Black Lives Matter mural did go up in front of his former residence in New York City. New Yorkers including Mayor Bill de Blasio, wife Chirlane McCray, and Reverend Al Sharpton participated in painting the words in bright yellow on Fifth Avenue on July 9, directly outside the Trump Tower. The mural, once completed, will stretch from 56th to 57th streets on the busy Manhattan block.
