[WardFive] Marion Barry -African Sister Cities Program

Marion believed and had FAITH.  That is why Marion has won again. He has done what we all have to do. 

 

Marion and I had been friends over 40 years. We traveled to Senegal and other African countries.  He started the FIRST AFRICAN SISTER CITIES PROGRAM in 1982. The protocol of exchange and our 501c 3 status was in 1985.  He always supported our organization. The student ambassadorship program allowed our DC Public School children to travel and networked with students from Atlanta and Chicago on their home stays and educational tours of Senegal and Morocco.  We annually had a DC-Dakar Day where professionals from various fields shared with middle school students what they would need to be prepared for positions around the world.  With Marion’s help we started the US Africa Sister Cities Foundation, Inc.

 

Marion remained a friend to the African Ambassadors.

 

DC-Dakar is still active last spring we hosted the 15 mayors from Senegal and last November had a group to travel to Senegal. 

 

Attached are some pictures of past activities and persons that supported us.

[WardFive] A Thanksgiving Message from Mayor-Elect Muriel Bowser

 

A Thanksgiving Message from Mayor-Elect Muriel Bowser

“As Washingtonians, we have so much to be grateful for this Thanksgiving. I am thankful to those doing their part to make the District a better, more compassionate city - especially those who spend their Thanksgiving volunteering, serving others, or bringing food and comfort to a friend or neighbor. These selfless and thoughtful acts make me proud to be the next mayor of my hometown.

“On this Thanksgiving, I hope you can take some time to give back to those that need it most – and all it takes is the gift of a meal, some time, or a small donation.

“Find out how to get involved here: http://www.foodandfriends.org/ 

“Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for working with me to give the District a fresh start.”

[WardFive] Fwd: Condolence from the DC Federation of Democratic Women.docx


       THE DC FEDERATION OF
DEMOCRATIC WOMEN
 
For Immediate Release: November 24, 2014                                       Contact: Hazel Bland Thomas
                                                                                                                                Thomashazelb@aol.com
 
The D.C. Federation of Democratic Women deeply mourns the passing of Councilmember and four-term Mayor Marion Barry, a visionary leader who cared so much for the residents of the District of Columbia.  Former Mayor Barry fought tirelessly to improve the lives of women, children and families, and served the community of Washington, DC boldly to the very end.  CM Barry's story is one of great courage, relentless empowerment, triumph and inspiration. 
 
Marion Barry's fifty-year commitment to civil rights, human rights and public service are an indelible part of his life and legacy.  During his entire career, he promoted equal pay, access to career advancement and political empowerment for women.  Former Mayor Barry was a brilliant political strategist and the embodiment of the D.C. Democratic Party; his passing leaves a great void in the political fabric of the District and he will be sorely missed.
 
Our sincere condolences are extended to former Mayor Barry's wife, Cora Masters Barry; his son, Christopher Barry; Family and friends in the loss of a great, political giant and stalwart leader.

The mission of the DC Federation of Democratic Women is to promote political candidacy for women; and through advocacy, mentoring and training to empower and successfully engage women at all levels of the Democratic Party.

Re: [WardFive] Passing of The Honorable Marion Barry

Good Evening Everyone,

I think that so many of us are thankful for Mr. Barry's presence here in Washington DC and even though some may not know they are thankful, they have yet to realize that they benefit from so much of the many great/good intentioned things that he did; some we know about and some we are unaware of. 

My way of looking at this is the same as I look at everyone -- For sure when a person does so much more good than not so good, they get a passing grade. As with being human, we are all capable of making mistakes and as far as I know, the last "perfect" human died about 2000 years ago. In my opinion, Mr. Barry has definitely earned an "A" in life for all that he did and we should all reflect upon that. 

We all have benefited a little or a lot from his presence here on earth!  Thank You Mr. Barry -- May your Soul Rest in Peace!!!

Just sharing,

Rob Ramson

With a very heavy heart, I extend my appreciation to God for allowing me to be in the same time and space as the Illuminate Honorable Marion Barry.

Yes, there were challenging times, but isn't that what life is about? Standing, facing an overcoming life challenges no matter your position in life. There is no doubt about the extended heart of Mayor Barry, his Love of the District and its people, no matter your classification in the scheme of things.  Was he hated because of this Love that wouldn't allow him to throw us under the Congressional bus? Yes! Was he loved because of his Love and commitment to his principles as a public servant on our behalf?  A resounding Yes!!!

I recall when Newt Gingrich imposed the Control Board on DC after Mayor Barry was elected to what was his last term as Mayor.  Gingrich placed the District on quarterly allotments of funds, which was an additional burden on an already challenging budget. Remember, unlike States which usually contributed 30-35% state funds to federal funding for their operations, construction projects, etc, the District had to contribute from 60-70% of funds and carry out State, County, City functions, yet we were not and still can't tax those who come here to work from outside of the District for the use of our resources.  It was interesting how Mayor Barry overcame these challenges which Gingrich thought would be continued embarrassments for Marion.

Under Mayor Barry we also had economic development in the downtown area. Marion was the first major city mayor to create programs to address the HIV epidemic up front, along with a "Trainer of Trainers" program which helped to educate the masses on this disease and prevention.  There were many other things/programs that Marion created/supported that were duplicated in other major cities.

Most of all was his love of the under-served, marginalize residents of our city. Have heard about many of his freely given, out-of-pocket support, or the direction of resources to aid for the desired outcome.

To the Honorable Marion Shepilov Barry, Jr, thought many would have wanted you to live in this dimension forever due to the goodness, genius and power you possessed which you used to empower all you served, God has declared that your many "bounce backs" must now come to an end, for you have served and fulfilled your purpose with faith & courage and unconditional Love beyond expectations!

It is time to rest and be restored on the spiritual plane, to which you were welcomed with open hands, the same way you welcomed all in this dimension, with an open heart!  R.I.P. Job well done, appreciated and will not be forgotten!

This is truly a sad day. I was just telling my wife that before I came to bed last night around 11pm they stated that he had just been released from Howard University Hospital. To hear that he passed shortly there after is truly sad.
While we didnt always agree he was truly a man of vision and pride. No matter his missteps or mistakes but he was truly visionary leader like no other. He will truly be missed.

As a student of american history, I can never look at old black civil rights footage - the dogs, hoses, beatings, bombings, lynchings - without always extending great indebtedness to the very young Marion Barry for sacrificing his doctoral studies, his career and most certainly his life - to embrace the life-threatening struggle against the murderous black apartheid/segregation and jim crow laws of our country.
 
Thank you Marion Barry for Pride, Inc., for your strength and courage and for your humanity.  I appreciate all you have done for the our city,our country and our communities.  You are a man among great leadership in the national history books of America, and certainly, of course, within the hallowed halls of black life.
 
God bless you and your son Christopher.  Blessings on your soul.  Rest in peace brother!
