Late summer, early fall in Washington, D.C., when the many colleges and universities in the city are welcoming new and returning students. One of these schools, the University of the District of Columbia is faced with a forced closing because of the city's fiscal problems and the actions of a Congressional oversight committee. Peaceful and then explosive protests follow, reported on by the newest member of the Washington Post's metro desk.Gil Lincoln's interviews with students draw him into the story, causing him to question what and who is really behind the unfolding events. He follows the story to its roots - remembering not only the words outside of the National Archives, The past is prologue, but also the warning: Those who don't remember the past are condemned to repeat it. The book is set primarily in Washington, D.C., with side jaunts to Milton, Quincy and Boston, MA, areas with which the author is also familiar.
