Washington, DC, August 17, 2026 —
What began as a small, informal idea turned into a significant community event in Washington D.C.’s Malcolm X Park on Saturday. The gathering, aptly named “Eat an apple with me,” drew an unexpected crowd of over 1,000 people. The event’s organizer, Carl Endrulat, had initially anticipated only a handful of participants.
