Obama event may shut down H Street

GW students may not be allowed to get to H Street between 21st and 22nd streets tomorrow during a Department of Justice event that will bring President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder to campus.

The two will speak at Lisner Auditorium starting at 10 a.m. – but from 9:30 a.m. to the conclusion of the event, the 2100 block of H Street will be closed to vehicular traffic and students may not be able to get to parts of that block, according to a campus advisory posted Thursday morning. Portions of Pennsylvania Avenue may also be closed.

Gelman Library will remain open, but the H Street entrance to the Marvin Center may be closed, according to the advisory. GWTV will broadcast the event on television screens in J Street and Columbian Square.
