New York City on Thursday shut down the stretch of Fifth Avenue where Trump Tower stands to begin painting a Black Lives Matter mural.
The proposed mural, between 56th and 57th streets, was called a "symbol of hate" by President Donald Trump, who said it would be "denigrating" Fifth Avenue, known for expensive apartments and luxury shopping.
City workers closed the street Thursday morning, and Mayor Bill de Blasio will likely join the effort to paint the mural, according to NBC New York.
De Blasio defended the mural after the president's criticism.
