Did Mayor Fenty Diss Maya Angelou?
The ongoing saga of the abrupt eviction of the Recreation Wish List Committee, run by Cora Masters Barry, from the Southeast Tennis and Learning Center keeps attracting more and more big guns. D.C. Wire updates today that none other than Maya Angelou and Dorothy Height were trying to get a meeting with D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty this past week to discuss the matter. And to make matters worse, sources are telling the Post that Fenty canceled not one, but two meetings with the women. And just when you thought Fenty’s office couldn’t appear to be any more callous on this issue. But wait! What’s that you say, @MayorFenty? Missed meeting with Dr. Maya Angelou & Dorothy Height was due to scheduling conflicts and not disrespect 🙂 Emoticon aside, this recent Tweet is at least a step in the right direction toward using the Mayoral Twitter Feed for something less stupid. And it looks like the folks who are writing it are now trying to figure out exactly what the MayorFenty feed should be. Message
