FYI, over at Congressional Cemetery there are 26 individuals for whom public schools in DC had been named. Inside the Gatehouse at 18th & E St, SE, are posters for each one showing (where we have them) the school, the person, the gravestone, and a brief biography. The office is open between 10 Am and 3 PM; come by and take a look. Thanks for the slice of history behind the school.
