"Instead of making the NBA champions' traditional visit to the White House, the Golden State Warriors toured the National Museum of African American History and Culture. They brought along students from star player Kevin Durant's hometown of Seat Pleasant, Maryland. Durant said it was 'definitely cool learning more stuff and being there with my teammates and the kids from my neighborhood." (AFP)
Did the rest of you know about this?? Also, what's AFP? I got this from the Christian Century magazine.

I saw it on the news, but I follow Golden State.

And I think it's perfectly to be expected that I hadn't bumped into Agence France-Presse to date. But thank you for contributing to my education.
