Capitol Hill; Adams Morgan. Du-point Circle; the Waterfront... Washington, D.C., a city whose size belies its power, is a veritable charismatic entity which attracts thousands of people each year — much like a large magnet draws tiny steel chips. Many of these steel chips arc college students who flock to one of the city's eight colleges and universities. These students, who unwittingly register for common curricula such as Black politics and journalism, can be seen traveling to Capitol Hill to complete homework assignments. Political science professors require trips to the Library of Congress for their students who arc researching legal ease briefs, and some have their students attend workshops at the Congressional Black Caucus. Imaginative Journalism instructors may assign an article to their students which requires them to go to a demonstration on the Mall.
