Title

Various protest signs on the temporary walkway near the White House

Coverage

H Street NW, Lafayette Park, Washington DC

Description

Handmade protest posters attached to the inside of the temporary, wooden walkway along H Street, NW in front of Lafayette Park and the White House in Washington, DC.

Messages read "Racism is a pandemic too," and "Can't trust a kneeling cop either," and more.

The walkway—a block long and built by the city to protect pedestrians from building construction—created a temporary art gallery and provided more protection (it was covered by scaffolding) for the artwork than the fence surrounding Lafayette Park which was exposed to the changing weather.
