The Department mourns the passing of a prolific leader and profound humanitarian.
WASHINGTON, DC – The DC Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) Director Michael P. Kelly sends sincere condolences to the family of Marion Barry.
“This was a leader who fought for the well-being, equality, and progression of the residents of the District of Columbia. As the Mayor he positioned this city for greatness,” said Kelly. “As a Councilmember he was the voice of the unheard and the fist for the weak – for that we all say thank you. You are the benchmark for which all will be measured. May your soul rest in peace and your legacy live on for eternity.”
