DC Mayor Muriel Bowser orders the display of flags with 51 stars, says the district‘s ’disenfranchisement is a stain on American democracy’
Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, a Democrat, has called for American flags with 51 stars to be displayed along Pennsylvania Avenue, a move that comes as she continues to push for D.C. to become America’s 51st state.
“Today, ahead of Flag Day, I directed our team to hang 51-star flags along Pennsylvania Avenue as a reminder to Congress and the nation that the 700,000 tax-paying American citizens living in Washington, DC demand to be recognized,” Bowser said in a statement on Monday.
