June 28, 2016

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) will speak at the Langston Junior Boys and Girls Golf Club’s annual opening ceremony today, Tuesday, June 28, 2016, at 10:00 a.m., at Langston Golf Course (2600 Benning Road NE). Norton will thank Shirley Washington and the generous volunteers who staff the Langston Junior Boys and Girls Golf Club for their contributions to the community and providing minority youth with opportunities to play golf.

“Langston is a historic District of Columbia landmark that is the perfect place for our kids to learn important life lessons while also learning the game of golf,” Norton said. “For more than 25 years, the Langston Junior Boys and Girls Golf Club has provided the opportunity for our kids to learn a sport that otherwise would be unavailable to most of them. This is a terrific service not only for our children, but also for the communities in which they live.”
