This memorial to father and son is in the Ivy City community.
The
Washington Post published a poem written by Ahkii Washington-Scruggs, that he had recently shared with his coach at Dunbar High School.
"
In D.C., it's nothing but people trying to take your life away. I'm from a city where it's a blessing to see the age 20. Every day I hear out of town people say D.C. is so great. But in my head, I just say D.C. is full of hate."
May they rest in peace.
