Barry Jr., a sharecropper’s son and civil rights pioneer who became a flamboyant and polarizing mayor of Washington, went to prison on a cocaine charge and then recaptured City Hall in one of the most improbable comebacks in the history of American politics, died early Sunday in Washington. He was 78. Some can say he didn't do Washington any good at all, some can say he helped the poor black people. Whatever your opinion of him is, we can't deny he had an impact, good or bad. RIP, Marion S. Barry.
