Washington DC Mayor Muriel Bowser Epitomizes Black Misleadership

August 23, 2025 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
Black Agenda Report is credited with coining the phrase “Black misleadership class,” although that acknowledgement should go to James A. Warren, who as far as anyone knows was the first to use that term in a 2005 Black Commentator article entitled, “Thirty-seven Years of Non-Struggle Leadership.” Journalistic standards require that we make this correction, but we do take credit for popularizing this term which describes the bulk of U.S. Black elected officials and others in prominent organizational leadership positions. At this moment, a dictionary definition of the Black misleadership class should include a photo of Washington DC mayor Muriel Bowser, who fits the description perfectly. 

In DC, A New ‘Mayor 1 Percent” This Time In Blackface

May 23, 2025 Jon Jeter, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
Earlier this month, Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser introduced legislation to repeal a law that gradually increases the minimum wage for hospitality workers who rely heavily on customer tips for their bread and butter. If the D.C. City Council approves Bowser’s proposal, it would represent the second time that the city’s elected officials have overturned referendums in which a majority of voters endorsed pay raises for restaurant workers. Fifty-six percent of voters approved the initiative in 2018 , and endorsed it by an even wider margin, 74 percent , when it was put on the ballot four years later.
