Cold snap will push back peak blossoms

Former first lady surprises students

Gorilla slides onto court at Wizards game MATT McCLAIN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

THE DISTRICT The weather it is a-changin’ — and the cherry blossoms are a-changin’ as a result.

Earlier this month, the National Park Service said D.C.’s famous cherry blossoms would reach peak bloom between March 14 and March 17 — potentially the earliest peak bloom on record — and the National Cherry Blossom Festival moved up the festivities five days to accommodate the finicky trees.

Now, citing a colder-thanexpected weather forecast for the next seven days, the National Park Service says peak bloom will actually commence between March 19 and March 22.

Peak bloom occurs when 70 percent of Yoshino cherry trees, the Tidal Basin’s most abundant variety, are at peak, the National Park Service said. Once they appear, the blooms can last up to 10 days.

MONKEY BUSINESS

Some of the cherry blossoms at the Tidal Basin are starting to bloom.

Temperatures in the 20s are forecast for this weekend, with the potential for snow.

The Capital Weather Gang reported that the majority of the trees at the Tidal Basin were in the “florets extended” stage, the third stage out of six, as of Monday morning.

They also reported that there are vast differences in bud and blossom development occurring at the Tidal Basin. Some of the trees are in the early stages of bud development, while the older trees are already starting to bloom. JUSTIN WM. MOYER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

“Trump is afraid of us,” yelled Terry O’Neill, president of the National Organization for Women, at a rally outside the White House. “You know who else should be afraid of us? Any member of Congress who does not respect our rights.”

“A Day Without a Woman” coincided with International Women’s Day and sparked conversations about women in the workforce and disparate wages between men and women.

Jody Ellenby, a fifth-grade D.C. charter school teacher who skipped work Wednesday, attended two protests.

“I hope to stand in solidarity with women who can’t strike today, and I hope to be a voice for women who have seen violence in the past,” Ellenby said. “I am a privileged person, but I hope to use that privilege to stand for others who may not be able to.”

Women in the District and around the country go on strike to show their clout THE DISTRICT Women’s March on Washington organizers made their first large-scale attempt Wednesday to build on the momentum of their January march, calling on women across the country to skip work and take to the streets to resist the policies of the new presidential administration.

The result was a smaller crowd with a harder-edged concept, which contrasted with the spirit of the earlier march.

In New York, 13 women were arrested as they made a “human wall” around Trump International Hotel. Elsewhere, the demonstrations were more subdued.

In the nation’s capital, protesters swarmed public spaces in front of the White House, Capitol and Department of Labor, aimed at drawing attention to women’s roles in the labor force and to criticize government actions they view as anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim and anti-woman.

local VIRGINIA An undercover cop in New York City bought 217 assault weapons, Tommy guns and handguns, dismantling a trafficking ring that exploited Virginia’s looser gun laws and sent sellers north on buses with bags full of weapons, prosecutors said Wednesday.

Traffickers were caught on wiretaps bragging about their ability to buy guns for resale, authorities said.

“There’s no limit to how many guns I can go buy from the store,” suspect Antwan Walker is heard saying on a police wiretap. “I

can go get 20 guns from the store tomorrow. I can do that Monday through Friday. ... They might start looking at me, but in Virginia, our laws are so little, I can give guns away.”

Acting Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said 24 people were arrested, mostly in Virginia. One person was from Brooklyn, and one from D.C. They are charged in an indictment alleging a conspiracy to bring up to a dozen guns illegally into New York City at a time.

Walker, 21, and others were being held in Virginia awaiting

Most illegal guns in the nation’s largest city come via Southern states with laws that are less restrictive than New York’s. Gonzalez said that must be changed.

“I find this case truly, truly infuriating,” he said. “As so long as anybody continues to peddle death in our borough, we will continue this hard work … including beyond state lines.”

Ex-Md. delegate indicted Michael Vaughn is charged with selling his vote in bribery scheme MARYLAND Former Maryland State Del. Michael Vaughn, D-Prince George’s, has been indicted by a federal grand jury in connection with a wide-ranging bribery scheme and the theft of campaign funds to cover his personal bills.

Federal authorities allege Vaughn received more than $10,000 in cash from liquor store owners in exchange for favorable

legislation that wou ld ex pa nd liquor sales in Prince George’s County or edge out competitors.

Vaughn Vaughn had resigned from the legislature in January after news of the federal probe of the local liquor board broke and resulted in the initial arrest of two liquor store owners, the head liquor board inspector and a member of the commission.

Vaughn, who served as a delegate from 2003 to 2017, cited health reasons for his resignation.

A judge allowed Vaughn released on his own personal recognizance during his initial appearance in U.S. District Court in Greenbelt on Wednesday.

Federal authorities also accuse Vaughn of illegally shifting money donated to his campaign for his personal use, according to a statement from the government.

The allegations involve at least $6,000 in funds, the indictment states.

If convicted, Vaughn faces up to 65 years in prison. LYNH BUI (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Gun sales in Trump slump Firearms purchases fall — except among those feeling more fearful

COOPER NEILL (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

POLITICS Sales of guns and ammunition in the United States have dropped precipitously since Election Day, according to FBI statistics, trade groups, gun shop owners and corporate reports, with many saying it’s the result of electing a president who has vowed to protect gun rights.

However, that overall decline has been accompanied by some unusual growth: Gun clubs and shops that cater to black and LGBT clients say there has been an uptick in interest in firearms since November among those who fear that racial and gender-based violence could increase during Donald Trump’s presidency.

The slowdown in gun purchases, which came at the end of a record sales year, is due in part to promises that Trump and the Republican Congress made to expand gun rights. Firearms enthusiasts and sellers said Trump’s victory removed the sense of urgency to buy that some felt under former President Barack Obama, who tried to ban the sale of assault-style weapons.

At Ron’s Guns along the Red River in the northwest corner of Louisiana, owner Gene Mock stocked up on inventory, anticipating that Democrat Hillary Clinton would win the presidency and continue the push for an assault-weapons ban. Sales the

week before the election were among the most brisk the shop had ever seen.

Now that Trump, who has the full backing of the National Rifle Association, is president, fewer customers are buying, and there is a glut of products.

Philip Smith, president of the National African American Gun Association, said his group has seen a recent surge that appears to be driven by fear that the nation’s divisive politics could spiral into violence.

“Trump is some of that reason, and rhetoric from other groups that have been on the fringe,” Smith said. “It’s like being racist is cool now.”

Smith said the group has added more than 7,000 members since

Election Day and new chapters are popping up all over the country. They include one in Bowie, Md., that started last month and already has 55 members.

“People are scared, and rightfully so,” said Stephen Yorkman, who founded the Maryland chapter. “They feel better if they at least learn how to shoot a firearm or own one.”

Nationwide, overall gun sales are trending downward after record highs during the Obama administration. According to the FBI, background checks, which are conducted at the request of licensed firearm dealers and retailers when they make sales, dropped from 3.3 million in December 2015 to 2.8 million in December 2016. In January 2017,

there were 2 million background checks performed, compared with 2.5 million in January 2016.

Sales of the semiautomatic sporting rifles that Obama and Clinton wanted to ban have slowed the most since the election, said Larry Keane, senior vice president and general counsel of the Shooting Sports Foundation, which represents gun manufacturers.

Keane said the industry is used to seeing spikes in demand based on political rhetoric, both nationally and on the state level.

Slowdowns typically occur after the holidays, he said, and sales were so brisk in 2016 that the industry did not think they were sustainable. T. REES SHAPIRO AND KATIE ZEZIMA (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Residents of Onoway, Alberta, were shocked to find bright pink water spewing from their taps Monday. The town’s mayor, Dale Krasnow, apologized to the town of about 1,000 on Tuesday but said the water was not a health risk, the BBC reported. The pink color was a side effect of a common water-treatment chemical called potassium permanganate, used to remove iron and hydrogen sulphide from water, he added. It likely got into the reservoir when a valve malfunctioned. (EXPRESS)

The audacious midmorning attack, the deadliest in the Afghan capital in months, drew immediate condemnation from foreign governments and humanitarian groups, and was denounced as an “atrocity” by the U.N. mission.

If that sharing should take place, the unusual cooperation would give companies like Apple, Google, Microsoft, Samsung and others an opportunity to identify and repair any flaws in their software and devices that were being exploited by U.S. spy agencies and some foreign allies, as described in nearly 9,000 pages of secret CIA files WikiLeaks

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said the U.S. has to see “some sort of positive action” from North Korea before it can take Kim Jong Un seriously. She spoke after a U.N. Security Council meeting Wednesday on North Korea’s latest missile launches. U.S. State Department acting spokesman Mark Toner said, “At this point we don’t see it as a viable deal.”

Earlier Wednesday, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said the North’s frictions with Washington and Seoul were like “two accelerating trains.”

“Are the two sides really ready for a head-on collision?” Wang told reporters. “Our priority now is to flash the red light and apply the brakes on both trains.”

Beijing also is opposed to the U.S. deployment of an antimissile system in South Korea.

Wang likely renewed the dual suspension proposal in the hopes that President Trump might see it as an alternative approach, said John Delury, a North Korea analyst at Yonsei University in Seoul: “Wang Yi is putting it out there for Trump, saying ‘here’s an off-ramp to the current tensions.’ ” (AP)

Obamacare vs. the GOP health bill

Coast Guard, TSA could take hit to fund wall

The Trump administration is preparing to pitch House Republicans’ health-care proposal directly to the public in an attempt to circumvent a surge of opposition to the plan among conservatives, CHIP SOMODEVILLA (GETTY IMAGES)

Democrats and health-care industry groups. White House press secretary Sean Spicer said administration officials, including President Trump, are engaged in a “full-court press” to sell the bill through local radio and television interviews and meetings with stakeholders. Although key details about the Republican plan are still unknown, including cost and coverage, here’s how it compares to Obama’s Affordable Care Act. (THE WASHINGTON POST/AP)

Coverage ACA: About 11 million people are covered by expanded Medicaid in the 31 states that opted in. Another 12 million nationwide buy private insurance through governmentsponsored markets that offer plans with subsidized premiums. The national uninsured rate is below 9 percent, a historic low.

GOP bill: Extent of coverage and its impact on the nation’s uninsured rate is unknown at this time.

Cost ACA: Coverage will cost about $1.4 trillion from 2017 to 2026, based on Congressional Budget Office estimates.

GOP bill: Unknown at this time; Republican aides say CBO numbers are coming shortly.

Private coverage for individuals ACA: Provides income-based tax credits for consumers buying government-regulated plans through healthcare.gov and state insurance markets. The most generous assistance goes to people with low-to-modest incomes. Many solid middle-class households get no help

despite sharp increases in premiums.

GOP bill: Provides tax credits primarily based on age, gradually phasing down for individuals making more than $75,000, or married couples earning more than $150,000. Credits can be used to buy any state-licensed plan. More middle-class consumers will benefit, but there is concern lower-income people would be disadvantaged.

Medicaid ACA: States that accept expanded Medicaid receive a generous federal match, gradually phasing down to 90 percent. The expansion covers people with incomes up to 138 percent of the federal poverty line — about $16,640 for an individual. Most new beneficiaries are low-income adults with no children living at home. Medicaid is now the country’s largest health insurance program, covering more than 70 million people under a federal-state pact. It remains an open-ended entitlement, allowing states to draw down funds for a portion of costs incurred by lowincome people, from children to nursing-home residents.

GOP bill: Ends the higher federal

match for Medicaid expansion beneficiaries, starting in 2020.

States can still continue to receive some enhanced federal payments, but only for expansion enrollees who were already covered before that. States will get a lower match for new enrollees. More significantly, the bill would overhaul the framework of Medicaid, ending its open-ended federal financing.

Starting with the 2020 fiscal year, each state would receive a limited, per beneficiary amount based on enrollment and costs. States would gain flexibility to cap enrollment and change benefits. Federal payments would be increased according to a measure of medical inflation.

Impacts are unclear.

Deductibles ACA: Provides cost-sharing subsidies for low-to-moderate income people who buy a standard silver plan in the government markets.

GOP bill: Eliminates ACA’s costsharing subsidies, but allows people to make much higher contributions to tax-sheltered health savings accounts, to cover deductibles and copayments. Sets up a fund that states can use for a variety of

Va. transgender student Gavin Grimm wants court ruling on bathrooms before graduation

purposes, including cost-sharing assistance.

Pre-existing conditions ACA: Forbids insurers from turning people down because of medical problems, or charging them more.

GOP bill: Provides protection for people with health problems.

But consumers who have not maintained continuous insurance coverage face a 30 percent premium penalty for a year. States can use federal funds to set up highrisk pools as insurers of last resort.

Generational balance ACA: Insurers can charge their oldest customers no more than three times what they charge young adults. That benefits older adults prone to illness but has made coverage costly for young people.

GOP bill: Insurers could charge older customers up to five times what they charge young adults.

Advocates for older people argue that’s unfair.

Young adults ACA: Can stay on parental insurance until age 26.

GOP bill: Same.

NATIONAL SECURITY The Trump administration, searching for money to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, is weighing significant cuts to the Coast Guard, the Transportation Security Administration and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, according to a draft plan.

The Office of Management and Budget proposal would slash the Coast Guard’s budget 14 percent to about $7.8 billion.

The TSA and FEMA budgets would be cut about 11 percent each, to $4.5 billion and $3.6 billion, respectively.

However, the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees all of them, would grow 6.4 percent to $43.8 billion.

About $2.9 billion of that would go to building the border wall.

Michael Short, a White House spokesman, cautioned Tuesday that the Trump administration is still working on the budget.

The Coast Guard cuts include deactivating Maritime Security Response Teams, which carry out counterterrorism patrols in ports and sensitive waterways.

Proposed TSA cuts include reducing the “armed pilot” program, saving $20 million.

About $57 million would come from cutting a program that sends armed teams to sweep airports and train stations.

Another idea is to eliminate or reduce a FEMA program that helps states and local entities prepare for natural disasters.

Added protection

Washington needs two defensive ends, so it could draft one in the first round and sign another with an expensive deal today. But the Redskins should be careful because their history of paying big money to defensive linemen has often ended badly. Remember Dana Stubblefield, Dan Wilkinson and Albert Haynesworth? If Washington moves on a big name, it could be Calais Campbell, a top 3-4 end even at age 30. In nine seasons with Arizona, he had 56.5 sacks. With at least nine teams known to be interested, the 6-foot-8 lineman could be monstrously expensive.

If the Redskins can’t get Campbell, they could drop one zero off the paycheck and sign Lions defensive end Devin Taylor. At 6 feet 7 and 275 pounds, Taylor, 27, offers similar length and strength to Campbell. Taylor has 11.5 sacks over the past two years, and with long arms and a 4.7-second time in the 40-yard dash speed, he can play in a 3-4 or 4-3 scheme. Taylor could be a bargain as a rotational player. The Redskins can’t get enough depth at end, and Taylor is young enough to rebound from a poor finish in 2016. He’s a decent run defender but needs more consistency in his pass rush.

The Redskins will need to replace Pierre Garcon, who reportedly struck a deal Wednesday with the 49ers, and probably DeSean Jackson, who has been linked to the Buccaneers, Eagles, Patriots and Cowboys.

Washington should look to Brian Quick, a possession receiver who’s best at short receptions.

He’s not fast enough to shake defenders past 10 yards, but the West Coast offensive concepts that Redskins QB Kirk Cousins loves make Quick a strong fit. Quick (6-3) is the type of big target Washington needs to draw coverage off of tight end Jordan Reed in the red zone.

The Redskins seem happy enough with their inside linebackers, but they should be open to upgrading. Buffalo probably can’t afford to bring back unrestricted free agent Zach Brown, who’s coming off a career year with 149 tackles and four sacks. Brown, 27, is in his prime but still a risk. He made his first Pro Bowl last year, but his four previous seasons were middling.

Still, the Redskins can use a run-stopper like Brown, who had 97 solo tackles in 2016. His speed also allows him to drop into coverage. If Brown is left on the market for a few days, Washington should take a run at him.

The Redskins could bring in Jaguars offensive lineman Luke Joeckel to the right side and move guard Brandon Scherff to the left side for a stronger overall unit. The second overall pick in 2013, Joeckel suffered a torn MCL four games into last season after playing left tackle his first three years.

That injury forces Joeckel into the bargain category, but his ability to play positions across the line is invaluable. The Redskins need to upgrade at left guard and Scherff has been expected to move there eventually. Joeckel showed in four starts last year that he’s a better guard than tackle.

McCloughan’s role shrinks Source: Redskins GM is no longer making roster-related decisions NFL Less than eight weeks before the NFL draft, Redskins general manager Scot McCloughan is playing no role in decisionmaking related to the team’s roster, according to a person with knowledge of the workings at Redskins Park.

McCloughan’s agent, Peter Schaffer, will meet soon with team officials about his client’s

status, according to ESPN’s John Keim.

McCloughan wasn’t with Redskins officials at last week’s NFL combine, the most significant offseason gathering for executives to evaluate college prospects before the NFL draft (April 2729). McCloughan hasn’t been in the office this week. The NFL’s window for free-agent negotiations opened Tuesday.

Sources close to the discussions said the Redskins have discussed how to proceed if McCloughan is relieved of his duties.

from hiring any current NFL general manager if they decide to part with McCloughan.

In the short term, the Redskins could coax back A.J. Smith, a former consultant who retired two months after McCloughan was hired, for an interim role.

Smith, 68, spent a decade as GM of the Chargers.

In-house options include Scott Campbell, director of college scouting; Alex Santos, director of pro personnel; Doug Williams, a senior personnel executive; or president Bruce Allen. LIZ CLARKE

The Giants signed free agent Brandon Marshall to a twoyear deal, the wide receiver confirmed Wednesday. The former Jets wideout tweeted a picture of the signed contract on Wednesday with the headline: “Done Deal!!!! #GMEN.” The Jets released Marshall less than a week ago, making him eligible to sign with any team before the start of free agency today.

Marshall, who will turn 33 this month, had 59 catches for 788 yards and three TDs last year. (AP)

The best resource for managing your HIV is … you.

If you have just been diagnosed with HIV, you know that your health concerns are unique.

The HIV medications that are right for someone else may not be right for you. Clinical research is needed to continue to develop new treatment options that work for a greater number of people.

If you have recently learned that you have HIV, you may want to consider the FLAIR clinical research study.

The study will evaluate if two investigational medications, one called long-acting cabotegravir (CAB LA) and one called long-acting rilpivirine (RPV LA), can keep the amount of HIV virus in your body at low levels compared to a single tablet HIV regimen (containing three HIV medications).

You may be eligible to participate in the FLAIR study if you: • Are at least 18 years old • Have been diagnosed with HIV • Have never received HIV treatment or received HIV treatment less than 10 days There are other requirements to be in the study that the study doctor will discuss with you to determine if you are eligible to participate.

Study participation will last a minimum of 2–3 years. Participants will receive study-related tests and procedures, as well as the investigational medications, at no cost.

Make ‘Mirrors’ worth the wait Go during the week.

The best time to visit is 10 a.m. on a Tuesday or Wednesday, says museum spokeswoman Allison Peck. On weekends, it can take two to three hours to see all six kaleidoscopic infinity rooms that are the centerpiece of the exhibit.

Wear comfortable shoes — you’ll be standing for a while.

Here’s how it works: You’ll line up outside the museum and be allowed in at your entry time.

Once inside, you’ll line up near the exhibition’s entrance. That will lead to another line farther inside.

BILL O’LEARY (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Given that “Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors” drew more than 14,000 visitors in just its first week (a record for the Hirshhorn Museum), don’t be surprised if you encounter long lines when you take in the selfie-friendly exhibit (open till May 14). Here are tips on how to prepare. EMILY CODIK (THE WASHINGTON POST)

You can’t eat inside either, so don’t plan on snacking while in line.

Once you get to the exhibition, you’ll get in even more lines for individual installations. You’re not allowed to sit on the floor, though you can ask for a stool.

worry about your purse or coat appearing in photos — you’re asked to drop those by the door before heading inside each room.

Eat before you go.

Leave large bags at home.

If you take a detour to store a bag once you’re inside, you’re going to lose your place in line. Don’t

Outside the Hirshhorn, there’s a pop-up cafe by local gelato and coffee shop Dolcezza, but the museum doesn’t allow liquids inside.

Prepare to be inside each room for just seconds.

The Hirshhorn limits how much time you can spend inside each installation — on busy days, it’s only 20 to 30 seconds. Make the most of your time by getting your camera up and ready before the doors even swing open.

Go in groups of two or three.

The museum asks visitors to enter the installations in groups.

If you’re alone, that could mean experiencing them with strangers who might be disruptive or taking selfies. (Even worse: They might request you take a photo.)

Go with people you know, and set ground rules about photos.

It’s totally blossom

The pop-up from the team behind Miracle on Seventh Street is all about the buds Why Union Square Cafe is a big deal for D.C.

FARRAH SKEIKY PHOTOS

BARS If you’ve been to the trio of Shaw bars run by Derek Brown and Angie Fetherston, you know they’re really into themed pop-up bars. The duo’s holiday-themed Miracle on Seventh Street project drew long lines to Seventh Street NW the past two years, expanding last year to take over the bars Southern Efficiency and Eat the Rich, in addition to Mockingbird Hill.

Now, Brown and Fetherston have decided to make the popups permanent, in a way. Starting this month, Southern Efficiency and Mockingbird Hill will be home to an ongoing series of popup bars, with themes, decorations and drink menus changing every few months.

Open now is the Cherry Blossom Pub. The team has cut doorways between the two establishments, turning them into one large bar with multiple service areas. Southern Efficiency’s decor and drink menu draw inspiration from Japanese culture, and that bar is the prettier of the two spaces, decorated with paper blossoms and more than 2,000 paper cranes. Much of the back wall is filled with a print of “Flynn’s Jefferson Memorial,” a painting by local artist Maggie O’Neill showing cherry blossoms framing the Tidal Basin.

Next door, Mockingbird Hill’s space is a tribute to one of Japan’s most notable exports: Mario the plumber of Nintendo fame. The question mark blocks and piranha plants from the “Super Mario

“We wanted the other bar to be something fun and whimsical.”

Senior bar manager Paul Taylor, who crafted the cocktails for Miracle on Seventh Street, also created the dozen beverages on the Cherry Blossom Pub menu.

The drinks — all $13, except for the $40 Flower Power, which serves four — are permeated with a sense of playfulness, while showing some serious cocktail chops. The Neko Colada, a pina colada-style drink made with miso-infused rhum agricole, is served in a maneki-neko tiki

EXHIBITS Last week, at the National Gallery of Art, Theaster Gates took an ax to one of his own paintings.

The end result — a glossy black canvas with a gaping wound at its center — is part of a collection of the artist’s new works called “The Minor Arts,” which opened on Sunday.

The hacked piece, called “Flat Bush,” isn’t meant to convey destruction or violence, Gates says.

Rather, it came out of his fascination with laborers’ skills, such as swinging an ax with precision. In fact, Gates’ preoccupation with transforming humble trades and materials into fine art ties together all 10 pieces in the show, which includes a huge “painting” made of a recycled gym floor, a massive wall of hand-cut slate tiles and several paintings made from roofing tar.

Gates, 43, first learned how to manipulate tar from his father, who was a roofer. “Working with my dad was essentially my MFA,” the Chicago native says.

“I thought, ‘Is it possible for roofing to act as my principle subject instead of having a muse that is, like, a woman or a dude?

Could I reflect on roofing and through roofing channel all of my sculptural ambition and all of my painterly ambition?’ ” Once he realized roofing could be so inspiring, he figured, why not flooring too? For a piece called “A Game of My Own,” Gates used planks of wood reclaimed from the gymnasium floor of a demolished Detroit high school. The Rothko-esque piece symbolizes how underprivileged kids have a shrinking number of places to play, Gates says. The scrambled basketball court markings in the planks of wood echo the disappearance of the structure and rules that governed the lives of the children

Theaster Gates’ “A Game of My Own” is meant to represent the decreasing number of play areas for poor kids.

who once played there, the artist adds.

“As much as I’m invested in color field painting, I’m also invested in the fact that black schools are closing on the South Side [of Chicago], that poor schools are closing all over the country, including in D.C.,” Gates says.

Art isn’t the only way Gates addresses the issues that matter to him. His Chicago-based nonprofit Rebuild Foundation has been buying up dilapidated South Side buildings and transforming them into affordable housing, art studios and community spaces.

“Artists are a part of the league of people who should be thinking about the things that are happening outside in the real world,” Gates says. The two halves of his life fit together nicely, he adds. “The work that I do in the museum ... functions as symbolic or sketch work for the things [I do] that go back into the world.”

A case in point: A piece in the exhibit, “New Egypt Sanctuary

of the Holy Word and Image,” consists primarily of several tall bookshelves laden with about 13,000 back issues of Ebony magazine. When Gates first came upon the massive, semiforgotten stash of magazines, they were scattered and out of order. So he and his assistants organized them by decade, had them professionally bound and built a temple preserving the magazine’s coverage of AfricanAmerican culture over the past 70 years.

“Taking urban messes that are too great in number and too costly to deal with is something seemingly the United States is not good at,” Gates says. “And so I often feel like these small projects are also stand-ins for other kinds of human experiences, where what's required is just a deep investment in things and people.”

The guiding light The Eastern Shore of Maryland harbors plenty of contradictions — some towns are playgrounds for the yachted rich, while some have homes with peeling paint and sagging porches. Rural landscapes slam into Panera-anchored shopping centers.

Amid the wind farms and produce stands, it’s easy to forget that much of the Eastern Shore was a thoroughfare on the Underground Railroad, and its most famous conductor spent her early life in and around these marshes. Harriet Tubman, a Maryland native, not only escaped from slavery herself, but also escorted other slaves north to freedom along the network of secret routes, churches and safe houses. Tubman returned to Maryland — risking her own freedom — multiple times, ultimately leading around 70 people out of bondage, according to historians. The opening of the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Visitor Center this weekend gives Tubman’s legacy a bright new home in Dorchester County, but there’s more to discover at the end of the two-hour drive from D.C. The Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway, a free driving tour, allows visitors to explore the area surrounding the new center and find a new way back into history. KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)

weekendpass A self-guided tour of Underground Railroad sites really moved us

TOURS My family and I sit in our CR-V while the sounds of a slave auction echo through the car. We’re parked in front of the Dorchester County courthouse in Cambridge, on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. It’s a spot where slave auctions were a common occurrence — the docks where the ships arrived are visible at the end of the street. It’s also the third stop on the 125-mile Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway, a self-guided tour that lets anyone with a smartphone travel the paths that Tubman did.

The audio guide blends narration, interviews with experts and powerful re-enactments to build a picture of African-American life during the era of slavery and the years after the Civil War. (It’s available for iPhone and Android at harriettubmanbyway.org/ audio-guides.)

The app narrates our way through Cambridge and out to the country, where we stop at the Stanley Institute, a one-room schoolhouse that educated the African-American children of the Eastern Shore until 1966. The school, which is open only by appointment, is closed on this lateFebruary day, so my husband boosts my 8-year-old son up to peer through the windows into the dimly lit space, with two rows of desks marching orderly down the room. My son (who was not crazy about spending his Sunday in the back of a car) perks up: The whole school, in one room?

More confusing — black children couldn’t go to school with white children? The concept of segregation is easy enough to explain.

The reasoning behind it … that’s more difficult. I’m not sure we did a good job convincing him that there were some people who thought that was the way things should be.

The path to freedom

The Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway tour takes visitors to more than 36 locations in Maryland, across 125 miles of countryside and shoreline, including the five stops highlighted here (locations are approximate).

D.C.

Bucktown Village Store

Episcopal Church, the eighth stop on the tour, is down a road just wide enough to pretend it’s two lanes. The church itself is gray with wear and shuttered to visitors. Though the graveyard is still in use — some of the gravestones are recent — it’s clear that very few people visit here regularly. Some of the stones are broken; the woods are trying to take back the land. We wander,

studying the grave markers.

“Look at this one,” my husband says. “Do you know what those letters mean?”

U.S.C.I. I don’t. “United States Colored Infantry,” he says. Alfred Wheatley fought for a country that kept him separate from other soldiers because of the color of his skin. I kneel down to take a picture. “Hang on,” says my husband, an Air Force veteran.

He leans down and fixes the American flag — the only sign of a recent visit — so it stands straight atop Wheatley’s grave.

The Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge is not Tubmanspecific, but looking out over the nature preserve, it’s easy to see what Tubman had to endure on her trips in and out of the area. It’s swampy and thick with vegetation; the trails that people hike and bike and drive now weren’t there then. We stop briefly at the refuge’s visitor center (it’s time for a bathroom break, and this is one of the few restrooms you’ll find while driving) to watch the TVs showing live images captured by the bald eagle and osprey cameras and to take a spin around the butterfly garden, which my son is pleased to see is also a Pokémon Go gym.

On the whole tour, it is the only spot where we see other people.

The solitude returns as we travel down the quiet roads of the Eastern Shore (it’s a good idea to have two people in the car; while the app does offer directions, they’re not included in the audio, so having someone read the directions to the driver is best). We arrive at the Bucktown Village Store, the site where an overseer threw a scale weight at a slave he was arguing with and accidentally struck the then-teenage Tubman. The injury resulted in years of headaches, narcolepsy and hallucinations for Tubman.

The whole setting seems unreal today: The little yellow building is closed to visitors and surrounded by an assortment of sheds and shacks, mundane pieces of life surrounding this almost sacred ground. We listen in silence to the story of Tubman’s near-fatal injury. After three hours or so, this is our last stop, though the tour continues for another 19 stops, all the way into Delaware (and, for those fleeing slavery, freedom).

We, however, leave the ghosts behind and turn the car back to the south and to the present. K.P.K.

THE WASHINGTON POST

Follow Harriet Tubman’s lead

A new glimpse into the life of a great conductor The concept of the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Visitor Center was, like Tubman herself, born in the Eastern Shore’s Dorchester County. “It’s been an effort of a group of dedicated folks in the community who have been working on this for a very long time,” says Beth Parnicza, public affairs specialist for the National Park Service. The visitor center, co-managed by the NPS and the Maryland Park Service on a 17-acre state park, celebrates its grand opening this weekend with two days of lectures, living history displays and activities for kids.

The visitor center, which contains exhibits about Tubman’s early life in Dorchester County, sits on the landscape that Tubman knew — and the designers of the building wanted you to know that.

“You’ll notice that there are a lot of windows,” Parnicza says. “We are constantly trying to tie you back to the landscape. It’s very similar to what Tubman would have seen and experienced — it’s still very much the same.”

Even the layout of the building is oriented to trace Tubman’s steps: A self-led tour winds you from south to north. But it doesn’t end there — after seeing the exhibits, visitors step into the “legacy garden.” Just as Tubman returned from free territory into slave country, the meandering path turns visitors back to the south.

Unhidden (for now) treasure

Ever wish you could poke around the National Museum of Natural History’s vast storage facility? Well, that’s probably not going to happen unless you’re a scientist of some kind. However, an exhibit opening Friday, “Objects of Wonder,” attempts to give regular folks a glimpse of the museum’s 145 million artifacts and specimens, especially those that are rarely on display. “Some of them are too big, some of them are too fragile and some just don’t fit into the stories we are telling in the current exhibits,” says Mary Jo Arnoldi, one of the exhibit’s curators. Here are a few highlights. SADIE DINGFELDER (EXPRESS) National Museum of Natural History, 10th Street and Constitution Avenue NW; opens Fri., free.

Tuxtla statuette

Enaliarctos mealsi fossil

This statuette was carved out of a jade-like gem in A.D. 162, meaning it predates the Mayan civilization.

The well-preserved hieroglyphics inscribed on the artifact, which was discovered in the foothills of the Tuxtlas Mountains in Mexico, have been crucial for anthropologists attempting to decipher other ancient Mesoamerican texts.

About 23 million years ago, the seal-like creature captured in this fossil lived in a shallow inland sea over what’s now California. Unlike modern pinnipeds (such as walruses and sea lions), this animal apparently had strong front and back legs, suggesting that it was fairly mobile on land.

Martha, the last passenger pigeon There were once billions of passenger pigeons in North America, but within a century and a half of the birth of our nation, they were wiped out, mostly by hunting and deforestation. The last of her kind, Martha died in 1914 in the Cincinnati Zoo and was immediately sent to the Smithsonian to be stuffed.

Whale earwax

Tsimshian house front This 38-foot-long house front is a stunning example of early-19thcentury artwork made by the Tsimshian people, a tribe that lives in what is now Alaska and British Columbia, Canada. The artwork tells a mythical history of the family that lived inside the house. The low door forced people to bow when entering the home and made it easier to defend against enemies.

‘Blue Flame’ Weighing more than 250 pounds, this huge chunk of gem-quality lapis lazuli was mined from Afghanistan’s Hindu Kush mountains and shipped out on the back of a mule. It’s among the largest examples of its kind.

As with tree rings, the wax that collects in whale ears forms concentric layers that capture loads of information — in this case, about pollutants in the water and the whale’s age and health, among other things. The Smithsonian has more than 1,000 samples of whale earwax dating back to the 1960s that researchers have only recently figured out how to analyze to learn about the changing ocean and whale behavior.

Sometimes, you eat what you are Author Bill Schutt really sank his teeth into his subject for ‘Cannibalism’ BOOKS What kind of wine pairs best with human?

Bill Schutt actually asked that question at a wine store, while en route to a dinner party where the main course was the hostess’s placenta. The wine clerk had no answer for him.

“She turned and ran away, so I picked up a nice Italian red, an amarone, and it worked out quite well,” he says.

The placenta, Schutt says, was delicious too. “It was clearly organ meat. It had the consistency of veal but it didn’t quite taste like beef,” he says.

Schutt, a biologist at the American Museum of Natural History, went to that unusual dinner party as research for his new book, “Cannibalism: A Perfectly Natural History,” which he’ll discuss Tuesday at Kramerbooks.

While researching, Schutt

found that the practice of eating the placenta — the organ that attaches a fetus to the uterine wall and is expelled during birth — is common in the animal kingdom, but not among human cultures.

“People think it’s this ancient Chinese medicinal practice, but it’s really an American invention from the 1960s that’s gaining popularity again in places like Brooklyn,” he says.

Still, history and anthropology

abound with examples of human cannibalism, says Schutt, who defines the practice broadly as the eating of all or part of another person. In one example that’s 180 degrees removed from the cultural values of modern Brooklynites, Chinese children in the Middle Ages occasionally offered up body parts (usually a thigh or upper arm) for their parents to consume as an extreme demonstration of filial piety.

“It was cooked in a porridge,” Schutt says.

If you have the appetite for it, here are some more tasty tidbits from Schutt’s book.

As recently as the early 1900s, you could pick up mummia — ground-up mummy bones — from local pharmacies in America and Europe. (Originally, mummia was made from ancient Egyptians’ remains, but once demand picked up, any random dead body would do.) “They powdered it and made elixirs out of it,” he says. “You could buy it and use it for a number of different types of sicknesses.”

March 17-18, 2017

“People think it’s this ancient Chinese medicinal practice, but it’s really an American invention from the 1960s that’s gaining popularity again in places like Brooklyn.”

BILL SCHUTT,

author and biologist, on the trend of eating the human placenta

In the 17th century, Europeans would line up with cups at public executions to collect the blood of the deceased. They believed that “the more violent the death, the more medicinal value there was in the blood, which was used to treat epilepsy,” Schutt says.

Until they were forced by missionaries and government officials to give up their traditional funeral rites in the 1960s, the Wari’ people of the Brazilian rainforest ate deceased loved ones in order to process their grief. “They were mortified at the concept of burying their dead,” Schutt says. “Why would you put your loved ones in the ground to rot and be eaten by worms?”

The Fore people of Papua New Guinea also ate their dead, which resulted in the breakout of a mad cow disease-like illness called kuru, which peaked in the 1950s.

China has a long, well-documented history of culinary cannibalism. One 12th-century text made regular reference to dumplings filled with minced human (often political prisoners), and another book, written in 1423, detailed regional recipes for boiling and steaming human flesh.

Laurin Talese Mountain Stage’s Larry Groce hosts an evening of original songs by Paperwhite, featuring Brooklyn-based dream-pop brother and sister duo Katie & Ben Marshall followed by jazz vocalist and composer Talese.

Thanks to its recent Oscar win for best picture, “La La Land” will be expanding … oh, wait. Sorry. Yeah, “Moonlight” has expanded and extended its run at local theaters. Screens all over the area are now showing the powerful, important film about a young man (played at three different stages of his life by three different actors) coming to terms with his sexuality as he grows up in the housing projects of Miami. Mahershala Ali also took home the best supporting actor award for his role as Juan, a character whose presence is felt long after Ali has left the screen. “Moonlight” is available for home viewing as well, but, as always, the big screen is better.

History Film Forum

Celebrating the 7th Art

If you viewed history class as a great chance to nap, the History Film Forum will smack some sense into you. A collaboration between the Smithsonian and the National Endowment for the Humanities, the four-day festival uses fiction and documentary films — as well as appearances with filmmakers and historians — to examine how movies shed new light on history.

Highlights include “The Loving Story,” the 2011 HBO documentary that inspired last year’s “Loving”; “Edgar Allan Poe: Buried Alive,” which will premiere on PBS later this year; and a screening and discussion of “Jazz Ambassadors,” followed by a performance by the Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra.

The Alliance Francaise is spending the middle of March as it should be spent — fighting allergies by hiding in a movie theater. The Francophile organization kicks off its Celebrating the 7th Art series with 2014’s “Corn Island,” a story of a man and his granddaughter living in Georgia (the country, not the state). The two other films in the series are Xavier Dolan’s early work “Les Amours Imaginaires” (aka “Heartbeats”), a story of romance and heartbreak out of Quebec, and “The Color of Pomegranates,” a Russian-made 1969 visual tone poem about an 18th-century Armenian poet.

National Museum of American History, 1400 Constitution Ave. NW; Thu.-Sun., times vary, free but registration encouraged.

Ex Machina (Canada)

Needles and Opium

SARAH L. VOISIN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Written and directed by Robert Lepage March 16–18

As natives of the nation’s capital, Priests make music that’s often political and rebellious. In January, the 6-year-old punk band finally released its debut album, “Nothing Feels Natural,” featuring the track “Pink White House,” which came out the week before the presidential election. This concert celebrates the release of Priests’ record, along with a new one by Washington natives Coup Sauvage & the Snips, who will also perform. Also on the lineup is Virginia-based group Atta Girl.

Sat. EXHIBITS

‘George Condo: The Way I Think’ Some will recognize the work of George Condo from the album covers he has designed for Kanye West and Phish, while others will know him as a productive and often provocative artist who still finds things to say in traditional drawings and paintings. The Phillips Collection will explore the

Mon. MUSIC

Green Day After a tour of small clubs last year (including a stop at the 9:30 Club), Green Day is back to packing arenas in support of 12th album “Revolution Radio.” Expect the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers to mix the new songs with all the requisite pop-punk hits from the band’s 30-plus year career. Before Billie Joe Armstrong and Co. take the stage, Laura Jane Grace’s punk band Against Me! will get the crowd warmed up.

Verizon Center, 601 F St. NW; Mon., 7 p.m., $35-$75.

Wed. MUSIC

Devendra Banhart Singer-songwriter Devendra Banhart’s latest album, “Ape in Pink Marble,” feels as mysterious and inviting as a strange dream.

The tempo dips to a reggae lull midway through, while guitar solos delicately fill in spaces with carefully chosen notes.

“Theme for a Taiwanese Woman in Lime Green” encapsulates his expansive impulses, melding a chord structure reminiscent of Brazilian composer Antonio Jobim with lush strings and a modern sense of longing.

This wildly popular interactive comedy whodunit keeps the audiences laughing as they try to outwit the suspects and catch the killer. New clues and up to the minute improvisation deliver “shrieks of laughter night after night.” (Washington Post) Hammerstein & Kern’s classic hit, featuring show stopping songs like ‘Old Man River’ and ‘Can’t Help Lovin’ Dat Man’.

Helen Hayes Recommended.

The legendary African American gospel musical.

“Makes you want to rise and clap along!” -The Washington Post Aaron Posner’s latest re-imagined Chekhov radically intersects with its Russian progenitor—while Three Sisters plays out in one theatre, No Sisters performs upstairs in another: Same cast, same time, separate theatre… No Sisters: A wildly funny play about wildly unhappy people.

More ‘Gilmore’? Nah, all set.

Netflix wants a second revival of the series — but is it necessary?

‘Good Fight’ takes aim at Donald Trump

NETFLIX

STREAMING When news broke last year that “Gilmore Girls” would return for a four-episode revival on Netflix, the internet, understandably, lost its mind. The much-loved WB and CW series never wrapped up in a satisfying way, because creator Amy Sherman-Palladino and executive producer Dan Palladino left before the final season in 2007. So the idea of seeing all of the cast members together, with the original creators at the helm, was a thrilling concept.

The revival debuted Nov. 25, and it proceeded as a typical TV reunion nostalgia-fest. And above all, it provided closure. ShermanPalladino got to end the series like she always wanted. End scene.

Except, maybe not.

This week, Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos told Britain’s Press Association that the streaming service has had talks with the creators about bringing the show back. Again.

“The worst thing is to wait a couple of years for your favorite show to come back and for it to disappoint you, but they sure delivered and people were really

We need more “Gilmore Girls” on Netflix like Rory and Lorelai Gilmore need another cup of coffee. (They don’t.)

excited about more, and we have been talking to them about the possibility of that,” he said.

Let us stop you right there, Netflix. Actually, we’re good.

First, another batch of new episodes couldn’t ever live up to the hype of the first set. It’s one thing to surprise fans with news of a revival — it’s a special event.

But it’s another to make it seem like a revival could be a frequent practice. The best way to kill the magic is to overexpose it.

FILM

TELEVISION

‘Overboard’ remake nabs Anna Faris, Eugenio Derbez

‘Game of Thrones’ rock arch collapses into sea

Anna Faris and Eugenio Derbez are set to star in a remake of “Overboard,” the 1987 romantic comedy starring Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. The story follows an heiress who falls off her yacht and is later found by a carpenter she screwed over. According to Variety, the remake will be co-directed and written by Rob Greenberg (“How I Met Your Mother”) and Bob Fisher (“We’re the Millers”). (EXPRESS)

The Azure Window, a natural rock arch that jutted onto the sea off Malta and was a backdrop for the “Game of Thrones” TV series, has collapsed in a storm. Malta Prime Minister Joseph Muscat tweeted his “heartbreaking” sadness at the loss Wednesday of one of the main tourist attractions on the island of Gozo. The landmark also served as a backdrop in the 1981 movie “Clash of the Titans.” (AP)

FX and BBC One renew “Taboo,” starring Tom Hardy, for Season 2

The revival also shed light on some of the show’s flaws, from boring musical numbers to the disappointing reveal that Rory grew up to be kind of a monster.

Would the producers learn from some of those problems?

Then, of course, the revival ended on a cliffhanger: Rory revealed she was pregnant. There were a ton of unanswered questions, but it was also a perfect full-circle moment: The central theme of the show was Lorelai as

a single mom, and now her daughter will face the same challenge.

It’s a fitting end for the series.

But there’s an obvious motivation for why the “Gilmore” gang might want to get together again: money. At the end of the day, TV is a business. So even if the legacy of the series would suffer with more episodes, it doesn’t matter, because the financial picture will always be the most important factor.

EMILY YAHR (THE WASHINGTON POST)

verbatim

“I know I can speak for the [‘Homeland’] writers when they want to right that error that happened because of storytelling.”

MANDY PATINKIN, a star of “Homeland,”

telling The Associated Press that the political drama is improving its depiction of Muslims

STREAMING The legal drama “The Good Fight” — the spinoff of ‘’The Good Wife” that’s exclusive to CBS’ streaming service — has taken the lead in weaving President Trump into its stories, and it keeps raising the stakes.

In last month’s debut, lawyer and Hillary Clinton supporter Diane Lockhart (Christine Baranski) watched and cringed as Trump was sworn into office.

In another episode, a member of the drama’s nearly all-black law firm tells his boss he voted for Trump and is scorned by his colleagues.

Most shows that debuted last fall have wrapped their production for the season that ends in spring, and movies have a long road to get into theaters.

“The Good Fight,” which premiered in February, has taken ample advantage of its timing.

“We have created very politically aware characters, and it would simply be peculiar if they weren’t talking about what was going on politically right now,” says Michelle King, who created and produces the CBS All Access show with her husband, Robert.

Robert King says the drama hews closely to what they did on CBS’ “The Good Wife,” which also dwelled in the world of law and politics.

“That had a lot of references to the Clintons and Obama, and critical depictions too,” he says. “The only difference is in degree.” LYNN ELBER (AP)

of Liberty went dark for about two hours. The National Park Service said the temporary, unplanned outage happened because a lighting controller wasn’t properly reset. Many social media users noticed the timing of the outage — on the eve of International Women’s Day. “Apparently the Statue of Liberty lights went out due to a power failure. But I would argue women are also protesting due to a power failure,” @aparnapkin tweeted.

THIRD WHEELS

‘Matt also thinks this is best for us’

Kristen opines on private life Kristen Stewart spoke to The Sunday Times of London about going public with her sexuality. (She rarely addressed it prior to February, when she joked on “Saturday Night Live,” “I’m, like, so gay, dude.”)

“Considering I had so many eyes on me, I suddenly realized [my private life] affects a greater number of people than just me,” she said. “It was an opportunity to surrender a bit of what was mine, to make even one other person feel good about themselves.” (EXPRESS)

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have called off their divorce, according to People. The actors, who announced in June 2015 they were separating, have decided to “keep working on their marriage after going through a recent rough patch,” the magazine reported. A source said Garner was the one who called off their divorce: “She really wants to work things out with Ben. They are giving things another try.”

Another source added, “There is always a chance of reconciliation. They love each other.

They also really, really love their kids, and those kids love their parents.” (EXPRESS)

After Arnold Schwarzenegger’s series of public exchanges with President Trump on Twitter over his exit from “The New Celebrity Apprentice,” Schwarzenegger was asked on SiriusXM’s “The Michael Smerconish Program” on Tuesday why the president seems to be fixated on him. “I think he’s in love with me.” Schwarzenegger responded.

“Yeah, I think so.” (EXPRESS)

BEEFS?

‘Everything’s fine!’ says person who is so not fine A fan tweeted to Andy Cohen on Tuesday’s “Watch What Happens Live,” pointing out that Naomi Campbell and Rihanna had unfollowed each other on Instagram. When Cohen asked Campbell, a guest that episode, to clarify, she replied, “Everything’s fine, of course it’s fine,” followed by a wink. She then quipped, “I’m an actress now, Andy.” (EXPRESS)

verbatim “People would say, ‘Oh, do you have kids?’ And I’d feel like, ‘Ouch.’

I knew inside it was supposed to be for me.”

Rob Kardashian shared a photo to his Instagram on Tuesday of his nieces, 3-year-old North West and 4-year-old Penelope Disick, with his 3-month-old daughter, Dream. The photo shows North and Penelope, both grinning indifferently, reaching into Dream’s baby carriage to touch the top of her head. “Cousins love,” Kardashian wrote in a caption accompanied with a few emoji.
