I had no idea that the legendary Dominique Dawes is a Montgomery County native. How excellent it is for her to be honored with a statue commemorating her Olympic achievements. She paved the way for all of the Black girl magic we see at the Olympics in the present day!

Happy Birthday, James Baldwin
Happy 100th birthday to the incomparable James Baldwin! It made me happy to see Baldwin in last week’s paper’s Words to Live By section. He has inspired me as a writer and as a person. Baldwin forever!
