The U.S. Embassy in Seoul, South Korea, unfurled a banner reading “Black Lives Matter” across its building and posted on social media Saturday that it stood “in solidarity with fellow Americans grieving and peacefully protesting to demand positive change.”
Harry Harris, the U.S. ambassador to South Korea, shared the tweet.
This is not the first time the U.S. Embassy in Seoul has notably expressed support for a social cause.
In 2019, the office was in the company of a handful of other U.S. embassies — including those in Santiago, Chile, and New Delhi — that defied a State Department order not to hoist a Pride flag.
This year, the banner was unfurled again for Pride Month, according to recent geotagged social media posts and reports in South Korean all HuffPost superfans!
