They seemed to be staring at the dark, but their eyes were watching God.
Yesterday we all watched the news with disbelief as two DC neighborhood landmarks -- Eastern Market and the Georgetown Public Library -- were engulfed by flames. Georgetown Public Library was scheduled to host a D.C.'s Big Read discussion yesterday evening.
But in times of trouble, communities pull together. At the request of the Humanities Council, Tudor Place, one of Georgetown's historic homes, will host the Literary Friends of the DC Library's program of dramatic readings and discussion of THEIR EYES WERE WATCHING GOD:
