Protesters Turned the New White House Fence Into a Black Lives Matter Memorial
Amid the Black Lives Matter protests raging on the streets of Washington DC, the White House is increasing its security measures. Apparently, that means erecting a temporary metal fence in front of the White House lawn, creating a stark barrier between presidential residence and protesters. The two-mile mesh fence has been criticized by everyone from protesters to DC mayor Muriel Bowser, who said in a news conference, “Keep in mind that’s the people’s house. It’s a sad commentary that the (White) House and its inhabitants have to be walled off.”
