  Worth noting that in the 38th Congress, the bill numbered #HR51 established the Freedmen's Bureau, which did critical work for formerly enslaved African Americans in the District of Columbia (as well as across the South). https://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/ampage?collId=llhb&fileName=038/llhb038.db&recNum=184 …

  No. It’s not the only way. Instead we could dissolve the District and cede it back to Maryland. Problem solved.

  Thank you! We can’t ignore “taxation without representation as a cliché, consider this a futile cause, or resign ourselves to an unacceptable reality that >700K citizens have no vote in Congress. 4 US states have <800K residents, and 3 of their pops are declining. Ours is rising!
