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.

What about the deaths at the hands of the rioters?

Ridiculous

Do before the man in the house says you can’t.

Awww, making it look like home lol. How trashy and pathetic.

they could store them in the bunker for now except it is occupied

way to cut abuse by law enforcement? eliminate civil forfeiture. this was abusive,if not illegal it should be. people’s money and property taken even though a person not charged w/ crime. it has ruined many innocent people. money went for things not related to law enforcement

can we ban the MOBO awards as for me its racist because if there was MOWO awards that would be classed as racist and any video with the word na and any hip hop or any other video promoting guns gangters and were women are portrayed as sex objects.

Save them! It is part of our history.

You Peeps put all that truth on the racist in chiefs fence and made him take the fence down.😁🇺🇸VOTE ALL BLUE!

Wonder if the Smithsonian will also save the facts that debunk the entire reason for protesting?

Blacks are 18 times more likely to be killed by another black than by a cop. Where is the outcry?

Together, let’s make this an era of action.

Burn like they burned our stuff
