Get the Full StoryWashington, D.C. has taken some very visible action to support the Black Lives Matter protests around the country.

On Friday morning, a group of people were seen painting the words "Black Lives Matter" in large yellow letters down two blocks of 16th Street, a two-lane road which leads to the White House.

The painters were reportedly commissioned by D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, per CNN, and when New York Times writer Emily Badger happened upon the city workers on Friday morning, they casually said they were "just paintin' the streets."

When I asked them what they were doing, several city workers casually said just paintin the streets, as if there were nothing else to say.
