After we were finished with our activist activities on D.C. on July 23rd, we decided to eat lunch at a restaurant we had been to before there – Bus Boys and Poets – on V and 14th. Not only is the food superb, but it is a great hangout for activists, with a book store (operated by Teaching for Change) that sells great literature from well known figures and a room for activist activities such as poetry slams, concerts, discussions/talks, etc. They even let you bring in your signs you’ve used during a march from the day!
Here are some photos:
Outside was a display by CodePink Women for Peace on casualties in Iraq. The box is filled with shoes symbolic of those killed, with names engraved all around the box:
