From Westlake High To Heavy Is The Crown: Cordae’s Journey From Charles County To Hip-Hop

WALDORF, Md. — Before Cordae’s name appeared alongside Anderson .Paak on an album cover, it appeared on a basketball roster at Westlake High School in Waldorf.

According to MaxPreps, Dunston played guard on Westlake’s freshman basketball team. The sports website lists his graduation year as 2015. Years later, after establishing himself in hip-hop, Cordae gave his former school a different kind of recognition. He named a song after it.

A Province Changes Hands: Maryland Contested

On Christmas Day 1645, a Thursday, the House of Lords sat at Westminster and gave an order about a colony three thousand miles away. "Ordered by the Lords in Parlyament assembled, That the Comittee for forraigne Plantations, doe drawe vp an Ordinance, and present it to this howse, for the setling of the Plantation of Maryland vnder the Comand of Protestants, and for the indempnity of those that haue or shall act in this bussines."[1]The first colonists had landed in Maryland not quite twelve years before. Its charter belonged to Cecil Calvert, second Lord Baltimore, an English Catholic who had built the province on a bargain. Catholics would be left alone there, and so would everyone else who professed Christianity. It was his policy from the first, though it was not written into law until 1649. Few other places in the English world offered Catholics as much. The Lords were proposing to end that bargain by ordinance.

Civil War soldier who died in Northern Virginia is finally laid to rest

This article was written by InsideNoVa's news partner, WTOP , and republished with permission. Sign up for WTOP's breaking news, traffic and weather alerts as well as daily emails. A Civil War soldier who died more than 160 years ago in Prince William County has been given a final resting place. He was laid to rest with full military funeral honors at Arlington National Cemetery on Nov. 4. “We gather to honor an unknown soldier whose life story is not fully known to history, yet whose sacrifice is fully worthy of the nation’s gratitude,” Chaplain Capt. Phil Morlock said while leading the ceremony. “We know that he answered a call greater than himself. We know that he stood in a time when the nation was tested by fire.” In March 2024, archaeologists discovered the soldier’s remains at Manassas National Battlefield Park at the site of a Civil War field hospital. His identity is unknown, but forensic analysis shows he was around 16 to 19 years old. The Union infantryman died during the Second Battle of Manassas in 1862. “As I watched that ceremony today, I felt it very hard not to cry,” said David Duncan, president of the American Battlefield
