2017.08.20 DC People and Places, Washington, DC USA 8021 (View on Flickr.com )
This week’s photograph was taken in front of the Duke Ellington Statue, entitled “Encore,” in front of the about-to-be-redeveloped Duke Ellington Plaza. The statue was installed in 2012 and the Plaza will be undergoing a significant transformation .
This photographs and others in this group show evidence that “improvements” are not evenly distributed across the population here. I just finished reading Derek Hyra’s (@DerekHyra ) book on the topic (Race, Class, and Politics in the Cappuccino City ) and will post on it soon. It gives much to think about.
When it comes to statues, Washington, DC is more of a Duke Ellington type of place, anyway. Down the street a little there’s a touch of Michelle and Barack as well, thanks to the brilliant muralist @AniekanReloaded .
Enjoy.
