It’s always bothered me that DC had no representation but I didn’t realize the history behind it. Now I feel more than bothered. I also had no idea that more people lived there than some states. The more I learn about history, the more I realize that what’s happening now is nothing particularly new, unfortunately. When have we ever lived up to “liberty and justice for all”? We have a long way to go, yes we’ve come a ways, but man, we have a lot of work to do.

Thank you for the history and explanation of DC. It should be a state.

Fascinating! I’ve never realized they had no representation in congress.
