Though it is the official music of the nation’s capital, go-go is not exactly young people music. D.C. teenagers tend to gravitate more to rap and trap and hip-hop.
But in the halls of some local schools, the genre is seeing a revival.

These teens are trying to save go-go. Can the music save them, too?
A new generation of D.C. teens is discovering the power of go-go music, thanks to a revival effort in local schools.

“My body can do really great at healing itself and bouncing back. It sucks to say that, but I’d rather know.”
After three torn ACLs and a first pitch gone awry, Croix Bethune is thriving once more for the Washington Spirit — and one game away from at last playing in an NWSL final.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Gotham was the better team for a lot of the match so it's a fear result. The way KC dominated the league this season I expected a better showing from them. Gotham wasn't the average 8 seed though... #NWSLPLAYOFFS

“Take on Me” fills dance floors, challenges karaoke warriors and still earns a formidable income for three Norwegians who could walk any city without being chased for a selfie.

I felt like Gotham was gonna beat KC but I thought it would come in PKs because I just didn't envision anyone scoring a goal on KC. We'll see how these last 20 minutes go...

A heck of a scene at Audi Field.
Trinity Rodman and Sandy MacIver sprinted straight from the sideline to meet Aubrey Kingsbury in goal. Adrián González stood and hugged Tara McKeown and Gabby Carle.
And now, Esme Morgan is waving a flag in the middle of the supporters’ section.

I came home from school and my granny whispered to me that Magic "had de ting" (she's Trinidadian). I told she must have heard wrong. We debated and when I turned on the TV I learned that Magic was HIV+. I remembered never to doubt my granny and that heterosexuals could get HIV too. What a day...
