This morning, as I sat at my desk in Columbia Heights, I heard all these children's voices, chanting something. Slowly, as the lines of children bundled in coats passed below my window, I could make out their chants, which I'd imagined were about Halloween. They were saying: What do we want? Help the homeless! When do we want it? Now!
Now I suppose you're wondering what my definition of kids is, since it could be used to describe any number of age groups, and is often used to describe people my own age. Let me assure you that these kids were not students at Howard, which is just down the road. These kids were, at most, 12. The youngest among them could have been 7. And there they walked, this parade of youngsters, with their teachers, shouting out, demanding social change.
