Protesters in Washington D.C have converted a temporary White House security fence into a 'memorial wall' amid ongoing protests sparked by the death of George Floyd two weeks ago.
The fence, erected around to Lafayette Square to deter demonstrators, has been decorated with posters and placards bearing the names of victims of police violence and racial injustice.
Photos and video footage of the site also show a number of signs mounted on the fence with messages including “Black Lives Matter," "End Police Brutality," and "No justice, no peace”.
Efforts to decorate the fence came as rallies continued on Sunday in Washington D.C and elsewhere over the death of Mr Floyd on May 25.
Mr Floyd, a 46-year-old African American, died in police custody after a white officer knelt on his neck for almost nine minutes during an arrest in Minneapolis.
Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin has been charged with second-degree murder. Three other former officers involved have also been charged with aiding and abetting Mr Floyd's killing.
The chain link fence was erected outside the White House last week following days of nationwide protests in the wake of Mr Floyd's death.
Last week, Washington D.C Mayor Muriel Bowser changed the name of a plaza outside the White House to "Black Lives Matter Plaza".
The move was widely seen as a rebuke to Donald Trump. The President has been criticised for his response to the protests, which has included the threat of military action, as the country has been gripped by the biggest wave of civil unrest in the US since 1968.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and other civil rights groups last week filed a lawsuit against the US president and other federal officials over alleged police brutality towards protesters while Mr Trump staged a photo opportunity at a church near the White House on June 1.
