| Description | On Tuesday afternoon, just before the early sunset, state Sen. Jill P. Carter (D-Baltimore City) will stand next to the statue of Billie Holiday on Pennsylvania Avenue in West Baltimore and announce that she’s joining the special election to replace the late U.S. Rep. Elijah E. Cummings (D), who lived just a few blocks away.
For pure symbolism, Carter’s decision to associate with Billie Holiday, the Baltimore native who confronted societal and self-created misery for the entirety of her 44-year life, is pretty cool – and totally unconventional. Also, possibly, aspirational: Carter will need to move mountains and walk through fire if she is to have a prayer of prevailing in the Feb. 4 special Democratic primary. |
