Good tips from the mayor for keeping the kids safe while trick or treating!

We all have a role to play in making sure our trick-or-treaters have a fun, safe Halloween.

Remember: Slow down, come to a complete stop at crosswalks and stop signs, and be patient.

Let's all work together to keep our littlest Washingtonians safe!

Born in 1936 in Washington DC, John Robert Edward Kinard would become the first African American director of a Smithsonian museum at the age of 31. Kinard would serve as the founding director of the Anacostia Community Museum, when it opened as the Anacostia Neighborhood Museum in the former Carver Theater on Nichols Avenue in September of 1967.
