The room was dominated by portraits of old white men, including one holding a poodle.
Yesterday feelings of patriotism stirred in my bosom as I attended the Africa Policy Breakfast Series sponsored by Rep. Karen Bass (D – CA), a two panel Senate hearing on Power Africa, and I then passed a few hours reading Liberian newspapers at the Library of Congress before venturing over to New America and Arizona State. It still strikes me as pretty cool that I can rub shoulders with prominent dignitaries and attend congressional hearings in person.
