D.C. Democrat Muriel Bowser will rename the city's Black Lives Matter Plaza, just a few block from the White House, amid pressure from a Republican congressman that the change me made. 

The mayor's office on Tuesday told a local NBC News outlet that the plaza will be renamed and replaced by a mural designed by schoolchildren. However there is no set time for the transformation.

This news comes after Rep. Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., introduced a bill that would give Bowser the option to rename the plaza or lose federal funding. 

The plaza was designated after the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota, which resulted in protests across the country in 2020.

Bowser unveiled the plaza in June of 2020 and year later said it would would be a permanent installation of D.C.

Restaurants, hotels and other businesses complained that the plaza, which was close to motorist, had created an economic hardship.
