Council Resolution CR-60-2019 reads, in part, “the urgency of this moment in our united States history calls us to stand against radicalized tactics of deportation and immoral expressions of racisms that are tearing families apart and seek to divide us as a county, state and nation. Prince George’s County will continue to be a beacon of justice and prosperity, not despite of, but because of its inclusivity and pluralistic community, where all people are treated with respect.” Council Member deni taveras (d) – district 2, who introduced the resolution, says given the current crisis where immigrant neigh - bors face the threat of deportation, embracing unity in our commu - nities is especially timely. “i appreciate the support of my colleagues in the adoption of PHOtOGRaPH CREdit: Will KiRK CR-60-2019. i am a strong advocate for our County’s immigrant higher achievement Dc Metro celebrates the opening of the Greenbelt center. pictured left to right are: Thalia Washington, population, and i reject the current administration’s immigration Executive Director of higher achievement Dc Metro; anthony Thompson, a higher achievement seventh grade scholar; starlet policies, and the announced enforcement scheduled to begin this hunter of MGM National harbor; angela D. alsobrooks, prince George’s county Executive; aaliyah Fatou Ba, a higher weekend,” said Council Member taveras. “it is crucial that residents achievement seventh grade scholar; Dr. Monica E.

a Universal Moment When Christopher thinks back on the Moon landing, he remem - bers visiting his grandparents in England that summer. His grand - mother woke him in the middle of the night. She led him outside into the garden, and pointed up as she explained that men were walking on the Moon for the first time. “looking back now,” he said. “i realize this is one of those uni - versal, shared moments.” He later learned that as he stood in that garden in England, his future wife was listening to the transmissions over the radio with her family in new Mexico.
