"I think the day at the inner harbor was fun because we talked about some of the history of Washington DC. I never knew that the government meant to give DC residents voting rights but just never got to it. We learned about some of the ways people lived in DC 200 years ago and about how the city grew. Tomorrow we are going to the Indian Embassy to learn about their government. They formed their government after ours, but quickly made changes so the residents of the capital city could vote."
--Michael, age 12, Kensington, MD
