Hey, Turque made the original error, we just repeated it.

It's Congress Heights, folks!

While you're there, stop next door at the SE Tennis and Learning Center and say hi to Cora Barry!

remember, dg-rad, if it's east of the river, it's anacostia. it's so much easier for the press to remember, than actually learning "neighborhoods". c'mon, city paper, you guys know better than this!

From the numbers I saw, about 70% of blacks voted for Prop 8. However, if one looks at the absolute numbers, blacks are 7% of the population of California (and 10% of the voters that day) while Hispanics are in the neighborhood of 35 to 40% of the population (and 18% of the voters that day). So Prop 8 couldn't have passed without the support of Latinos. However, they voted 53-47 for it and they're more numerous and less of an easy target for activists.

Either way, non-Californians like myself are amused at the circular firing squad going on there.
