Many of our local emergency personnel were on hand and working to try and save the decedent's life. One firefighter we saw had pretty severe hand lacerations sustained in his efforts.

President's Weekly Address: Celebrating the National Museum of African American History and Culture
Posted by: thepinetree on 09/24/2016 08:29 AM
Washington, DC...Hi everybody. This weekend, we’ll dedicate the newest American icon on our National Mall – the National Museum of African American History and Culture. It’s a beautiful building, five stories high and some 70 feet below the ground, situated just across the street from the Washington Monument. And this museum tells a story of America that hasn’t always taken a front seat in our national narrative. As a people, we’ve rightfully passed on the tales of the giants who built this country. But too often, willful or not, we’ve chosen to gloss over or ignore entirely the experience of millions upon millions of others.
