Today I covered an event at American University. At the time of this writing, that means it's actually yesterday, but whatever. The event was about Darfur, Uganda, and other regions that are being oppressed. Specifically, Darfur was spoken about because it is considered to be in the middle of a genocide.
I'd say the biggest issue is the lovely Washington D.C. weather. It was overcast, windy, and drizzling. I originally went to the event without an umbrella, but I bought one from the bookstore because I was carrying around a lot of recording equipment and I really didn't feel like letting it get all rained on!
Fortunately, people actually did show up, and I took some pictures of them:
There are constantly protests, marches, discussions, forums, whatever- going on all over the place here. Sometimes no one shows up, other times, it can be terrible weather and there are a million people there. I guess it's whatever people find to be important!
Whew. I have been up all night, helping my roommate do stuff. She's working on a paper and I'm the sounding board. My other roommate is a night owl and cleaned the bathroom, lol. We ended up as three tired people with the scent of Pine Sol up our nostrils!
