DC Council takes step towards placing statue of Marion Barry in front of Wilson Building

WASHINGTON (ABC7) — The DC Council has taken a large step towards placing a statue of former Mayor Marion Barry in front of its home.

In a meeting Tuesday, the DC Council Committee of the Whole voted unanimously to a measure that would advance the possibility of adding a statue dedicated to the late mayor in front of the Wilson Building.

The matter was not actually passed today, Council Chairman Phil Mendelson said because someone forgot to publish it in the city register, as required by law. Mendelson said it is now on the Consent Agenda of non-controversial items that will be passed all together with one vote in the next council session.

That session could come in as little as two weeks.

  5. Just what we need - a statue of a womanizing, drug addict, who stole public funds, failed to file taxes, and who was a RACIST against Asians! Yeah great idea!

    1. But because it starts off as that powder, so 9:52s joke still stands.

  13. DC allows destroying Statues of history and replacing them with "Black" criminals. This tells you a lot about our society. These are the Trump haters and anarchist.

  16. 10:36,
    Perfect comment.

    Also note that the Council placed it on the "Consent Agenda of non-controversial items".

  17. I think it is a great idea whose time has come to memorialize this great man. I think a statue of him doing lines while slapping a hooker is well overdue.

  18. Going to rename streets with Black Panther members names too!

  19. I agree with 11:40AM.
    They should also memorialize one of the 75 trash cans that Berry's "Marketing Company" bought and placed around the city with a message on each one about staying off of drugs. He was given a little over $3 million by the city (Congress, actually) to fund this campaign. Seventy-five trashcans!
    I lived in PG County during and after his reign. The stories are legend about this guy.

  23. Typical democrat idiocy. The man is a criminal. A low life dirtball. They praise and worship criminals and low life dirtballs. That is the Democrat party today. (with quite a few social perverts as well)

  24. The thought of this offends me....if it happens, should I incite a riot?

    ReplyDelete
  25. Take down the Confederate statues because they represented "slave owners." Replace with a statue of "slave." Slave to a freaking crack pipe. Really good thing to memorialize, huh?
