The Jefferson Memorial, Washington Monument, and other notable buildings, statues, schools, and memorials named after historical figures in Washington DC are at risk of being “removed, renamed, or contextualized” as newly recommended by a working group created by DC Mayor Muriel Bowser.

The District of Columbia Facilities and Commemorative Expressions (DCFACES) committee claimed the historical namesakes of these city “assets” have promoted or participated in “slavery, systemic racism, mistreatment of, or actions that suppressed equality for, persons of color, women and LGBTQ communities and violation of the DC Human Right Act” and should be considered for removal by the National Capital Memorial Advisory Commission, on which the mayor sits.
