NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio, alongside Rev. Al Sharpton, painted some of the letters on a giant mural that spells Black Lives Matter on Fifth Avenue directly in front of Trump Tower on Thursday (July 9).<br /><br />The mayor had been discussing this plan for over a month and the street was closed early this morning to begin the painting. <br /><br />President Donald Trump, who often feuds with de Blasio on Twitter, is reportedly known to be against this mural being painted in front of his Midtown skyscraper.
