  Confederate statues and others honoring our Founders are being taken down all over America, but that doesn't mean other statues will not be taking their place.Earlier this year, a statue of Robert E. Lee was taken down in Baltimore.  It was replaced with a "lady liberty of black power."  In Washington DC, the city council is working to remove a statue of Albert Pike from Judiciary Square.  Meanwhile, they're working to erect a statue to crack-smoking Mayor Marion Barry, Jr. on Pennsylvania Avenue.
"The D.C. Council on Tuesday preliminarily approved a plan to erect an 8-foot-tall bronze statue outside city hall in Barry's honor, placing a likeness of the District's most famous local politician on Pennsylvania Avenue NW, a couple of blocks from the White House and on one of the city's best-known boulevards," The Washington Post reports. You can see other pictures of the planned statue Local radio station WTOP ran a piece last month featuring at WTOP. "The unveiling is set for March 6, which is Barry's birthday," WTOP reports.
