I had never lived in a city, especially one still on edge from the urban conflagrations of 1968 and disheveled by the massive construction that would soon lead to the Metro. Yet I quickly discovered that D.C. was a city with soul and culture. I reveled in the pace and the poetry of Chocolate City and found joy and inspiration from visiting each of the Smithsonian museums. And when I needed a respite from urban life, there was nothing better than exploring the best city park in America—Rock Creek Park. D.C. is more than the seat of politics; it has become my home.

The Martin Luther King, Jr., Memorial is in a perfect spot as you enter this paradise. The iconic civil rights figure stands 30 feet high—a monument to freedom, opportunity, and justice.
