Much needed relief after the heaviness of those stories – we
climbed aboard the Circulator (what a great addition to this city!) and toured
Memorial Mall. I had never even known
about the FDR Memorial –it was great; and of course, so fitting to observe the
Martin Luther King statue after reviewing the history of African
Americans. I am thinking and wondering
about my 2 grandsons, and how they will feel as they learn of the atrocities
done to their ancestors.

Great Quote from Roosevelt |
Ended up with a great dinner at a historic tavern, Old
Ebbitt Grill; then an enlightening stay with a multiracial Airbnb family. A Russian immigrant, a French-speaking West
African immigrant—the story of their 7 year process to receive American citizenship. Amazing & Inspirational.
