I’m really hopeful about the District’s chances for statehood! With the Senate on our side, I feel as though this is the time to finally get our representation. More residents need to mobilize and get behind this. It is now or never!

Keeping the Dream Alive

The editor’s commentary titled “Dr. King’s Words Hauntingly Prophetic for an American Crisis” was spot-on. I enjoyed all of it because I, too, was a young kid when King was killed and I also remember when his birthday became a federal holiday. With all the violence and confusion plaguing our country, we must remember King’s work and apply it to our lives.
