Washington revisits plans to honor Black Revolutionary War soldiers with a memorial between the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument. Black Patriots Foundation president Mark Gresham seeks education and fundraising reform to raise roughly seven more million dollars, amid past leadership turnover and fundraising disputes. Maurice Barboza, ousted founder, criticizes progress and urges a reduced project budget and design compromise to about three million dollars.
