Videos began to make their way online Friday morning showing city workers painting the words on 16th Street in bright yellow.
Earlier this week, the world watched as President Donald Trump used the National Guard and police to violently clear protesters away from the White House so he could walk to St. John’s Episcopal Church for a photo-op.
"There was a dispute this week about whose street this is.
Mayor Bowser wanted to make it abundantly clear that this is DC's street and to honor demonstrators who [were] peacefully protesting on Monday evening," John Falcicchio, Bowser's chief of staff, wrote in a tweet.
