One of the first things people ask me when they talk about visiting Washington is whether they can visit Black Lives Matter Plaza. The answer is always: Of course! The two-block stretch of 16th Street by the White House has been transformed into a vibrant but sacred space to contemplate race in America. Whoever you are and from where ever you come, you will take something away from the city’s newest landmark.
UPDATE: The White House forced the District to remove Black Lives Matter Plaza in 2025.
