In addition, the city has dubbed the intersection where demonstrators were cleared, Black Lives Matter Plaza. Politico writes:

An intersection near the White House where federal law enforcement used chemical irritants and flash-bang grenades earlier this week to clear a peaceful demonstration against racial injustice has a new name: Black Lives Matter Plaza.
