About DC FACES

Mayor Bowser charged the District of Columbia Facilities and Commemorative Expressions (DCFACES) Working Group with evaluating named DC Government-owned facilities and make recommendations as to what, if any, actions need to be taken if the person the facility is named for is inconsistent with DC values and in some way encouraged the oppression of African Americans and other communities of color or contributed to our long history of systemic racism.

Facilities Focus Areas

  • DC Government-owned streets
  • DC Government-owned buildings (libraries, schools, rec centers, etc)
  • DC Government-owned parks
  • Statues in DC Government-owned parks
