Does the @DukeEllingtonDC do a "clap-in" to welcome new freshmen or students generally, as almost EVERY OTHER DC PUBLIC SCHOOL DOES? Asking for myself!
Good news! The bill that would give Buwa Binitie development rights at Parcel 13 on St. Elizabeth's campus is no longer on the agenda for markup today. This is a win for all the neighbors who have been calling for an end to business as usual and a land giveaway to a developer the District is actively suing.
Howard University has begun the search for its 19th president.
As we honor Howard’s extraordinary legacy and look toward its future, the voices of our community will be an important part of shaping what comes next.
We invite students, faculty, staff, alumni and members of the global Bison community to learn more about the presidential search and participate in the process.
Your voice matters. Help shape Howard’s future.

Glad to be home and recovering.
Thank you all for the outpouring of love, prayers, and support over the past few days. And a special thanks to the incredible medical team at George Washington University Hospital. I can't wait to see you all back out in the community soon!
My little brother damn near made me cry today. Just so proud of this guy. He is currently hiking some big ass mountain in Guatemala. From Benning Road to traveling the world. That's what I'm talking about. Get the hell outside DC and the U.S. and go see what else is out there. What an amazing view he sent me.
Our office is aware of several trees that need to be removed across Ward 8, including these in the 1200 block of U St., SE. We are working closely with city officials on abatement. If your neighborhood is still affected, please reach out to @311DCgov.
Thursday night's storm -- just before midnight -- was INSANE in DC. Widespread 60-70 mph gusts... almost like a hurricane.
Here's video from H St. NE from @we_are_wellfed on Instagram.
