There’s important history here that needs protecting.
Under the shadow of segregation, the Langston Golf Course was built to service the nearby African American community in 1939. It was one of twenty golf courses in America that was open to African Americans; whites had 680 to choose from.

Same. Many post-work rounds at East Potomac when I lived in the city. Once got paired at Langston with an older African American couple. Several years later we had jury duty together and played a few more afterwards. Rock Creek's back 9 has some of the best sledding in town.

We should have a land of sun,
Of gorgeous sun,
And a land of fragrant water
Where the twilight is a soft bandanna handkerchief
Of rose and gold,
And not this land
Where life is cold.
