This summer in Washington, DC is especially busy with local and federal events.
Here's how to stay in the loop on street closures, weather impacts, and traffic updates:
In times of distress, we can call upon the Lord. He will hear our plea. We may not know what to do in the situation, but God knows. Keep your eyes on Him. God is wise and powerful enough to handle our adversaries.
The soundtrack of our culture didn't just happen...it was built. Today, we are shining a light on media pioneer Cathy Hughes. Before her historic achievements with Urban One and TV One, she infused magic into the airwaves right here at Howard University’s WHUR, creating the legendary, soulful "Quiet Storm" format that captured hearts nationwide.
Today, through Howard University Cathy Hughes School of Communications, her legacy lives on through the next generation of storytellers.

DCPS is making historic gains in recovery and achievement—read the latest op-ed to learn how: https://t.co/eCDxPuWTbj
Opportunities didn’t just grow—they expanded across DCPS since 2023📈
Our Class of 2026 students participated in college courses, career training, internships, and credential programs at higher rates than ever👏
DCPS graduates pursued a wide range of pathways after high school, and for some, that means military service🪖
Our future military members reflect discipline, leadership, and a dedication to serve—and we’re proud and grateful for their commitment✨
Thrilled to highlight what led to @dcpublicschools’ historic Education Scorecard success in @K12DiveNews.
Investing in our students and educators, while making learning engaging and fun, is part of the formula that helped light the way 💡

June 13 is a date when the stork smiled on the District of Columbia:
* Born on this date in 1927: the late Ben Ali, co-founder (with his wife, Virginia) of DC landmark @benschilibowl
* Also celebrating a birthday today: @eleanornorton
Her masterpiece: https://t.co/qZPss9gD7s
Today, we celebrate the birthday of our warrior on the hill, Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton.
She has never accepted the limits that other people have tried to place on her or us—and when it comes for fighting for DC, she has never let us down.
From securing federal land for the District, expanding DCTAG, helping us build the Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge, and bringing us even closer to DC statehood—her work is deeply embedded in the fabric of our great city.
And her service and her story is inseparable from the story of Washington, DC.
We wish you a very happy birthday, @EleanorNorton.
