We get first dibs! Mayor Vince Gray has announced the District's event schedule for the week leading up to the Aug. 28 dedication of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial, and it includes a sneak peek of the memorial for D.C. residents. Also: yet another rally demanding that we get some representation with our taxes.

Friday, Aug. 26: “Welcome to D.C.” Reception (for out-of-town elected officials and civil rights leaders) hosted by Mayor Gray
