Placards and protest art left near the White House by demonstrators protesting years of black deaths at the hands of police officers could be saved by the Smithsonian.
In a statement Wednesday night, the Park Service said the Secret Service was “continuing to remove the temporary fencing around Lafayette Park, and the public will have access to Lafayette Park beginning on June 11.” Some fencing will remain around damaged areas while the Park Service makes repairs. On the other, southern side of the White House, parts of the temporary fencing were also being dismantled.
The fence was erected late at night on June 1, a few hours after U.S. Park Police and other security forcesso President Donald Trump could stage a brief photo op in front of St. John’s, the historic church that had been damaged in the protests. Jason Spear, a spokesman for the National Museum of African American History and Culture, said curators from his museum and two others in the Smithsonian network — the National Museum of American History and the Anacostia Community Museum — visited the scene Wednesday.
