The One Judiciary Square building will be renamed to honor the late Marion Barry, who served for 15 nonconsecutive years as the second and fourth mayor of Washington, D.C., amid a number of legal and political controversies, including drug possession.
“Mayor Marion Barry embodied that D.C. spirit of never letting a setback become a knockout, and always fought to bring opportunity to our residents,” Mayor Muriel Bowser said in a statement. “He created programs that helped residents buy their first homes, expanded access to the middle class for D.C. families, and ensured prosperity was shared among all eight wards. This dedication is a fitting tribute to our Mayor for Life by honoring his legacy and service to the city he loved.”
