that's dupont circle. there's an urbanized area that was much smaller than the washington we know now. anything up past, you know, up on connecticut avenue towards the park up past where howard university is now going north on 7th street, none of those made it on the map, not because people didn't live there, but they were not considered the main parts of washington city. that gives you a sense that we're talking about a city that's relatively smaller, of course, than the city we know now as washington. now, i'm going to talk about this as washington history on three different points. first, i'll talk about the relationship of african-american history to this stir. seconds, the story of urban reform in washington and its context, and third, why washington was an example for all the land. first, washington was a site of remarkable african-american activism in this period. i like to talk in general terms about roots that made up african-american washington. first, from before the civil war, washington was a

dupont was one of the weakest dow components, down more than 2%. volume was heavier than average as shares break down further, now looking for support at its march low. these big multi-national stocks also may have been hit by a strengthening u.s. dollar. the american currency has been trying to reserve this slide. since may began, the dollar index is up about 4%. we continue to see big volume in fertilizer maker mosaic stock. earlier this year, cargill announced plans to spin off its 64% ownership stake in mosaic. mosaic is selling stock as part of that deal, leading to the heavy volume. although the share price bucking the most recent slide today, and j.p. morgan and stifel nicolaus both upgraded shares after this sell-off since january. krispy kreme doughnuts provided a sweet treat for investors-- a better-than-expected start to the year. krispy kreme's earnings jumped thanks to better sales at company-owned and franchised stores. investors had an appetite. the share price popped 26% as volume exploded. it takes k-k-d to a new 52-week high, just

in fact, i was out passing dupont circle and people were out still playing chess at 3:00 in the morning. that nice outside. so, for the rest of today, look at your bus stop forecast, we start with this. the kids are getting ready for school this morning. expecting partly to mostly cloudy skies this morning and mild. temperatures in the 60s and 70s. your sunrise at 6:08 for today. here is a look at your day planner for the rest of today where we're going to see partly cloudy conditions and some storms arriving as early as this afternoon out to the west of 81 and then around the district later this evening. but for most of the day around d.c., it will be partly cloudy. warming up to 83 by 4:00. overnight, by 8:00, 74 degrees. partly cloudy conditions. here is a look at your satellite and radar picture where you can see right now, we're going to see a nice, dry day for most of the day around the district. and then this storm comes in from the west. so, i think along 81 and west of it, we could see some stormy activity as early as this afternoon. some could be severe. areas of fog this morn

one hundred seventy one were back in seventy one you know a lot of the people were staying around dupont circle you know actually i was living there off of new hampshire and street and so it was just a block or two to be here and there were just thousands of people that would just converge and then we would disappear back in for spaces and we knew the turf and we knew the alley way so but the spite that i mean more i think on mad more than thirteen thousand people were arrested it was the largest arrest in the history probably in one day. in the united states. police used tear gas and clubs to disperse protesters then president richard nixon called in the military. robert klotz was a police captain i think and later the eighty second airborne came in and helicopter. and i was assigned as a law with the commanding general of the eighty second airborne and paratroopers landed at the national monument. protesters wouldn't back down people trying everything to end the war and nothing would end it and so this was like one of the last ditch efforts and in a sense it was almost like an indian t
