Memorial on Mall for Black Patriots Reignites Effort
Maurice Barboza seeks revival of a National Mall memorial honoring enslaved and free black Revolutionary War soldiers like Crispus Attucks and James Lafayette. The project stalled by fundraising and bureaucratic limits, with a moratorium on new monuments and an expired site authorization. Lawmakers and advocates press for reauthorization and renewed funding, citing underrepresentation of black patriots in national memory.
