We are thrilled to announce that the DC History Center has received a 2024 HumanitiesDC Visions Grant. With this grant, we will focus on community archiving within DC's Latino/a/x communities, offering digitization services and training to those who are interested in digitizing their personal collections. This process will address archival silences at the DC History Center, while preserving personal collections that can remain under the stewardship of community memory-keepers. We are excited for the impact this project will have on our city and look forward to sharing this important history! #HumanitiesDC2024grantrecipient #humanitiesDC #humanities

Congrats to the Perry School for this great project! Very much looking forward to celebrating M Street High School and its legacy at Arena Stage March 13.
Did you know that DC Historic Sites now has a digital tour dedicated entirely to the outstanding legacy of students and faculty from M Street High School? The tour explores the rich history of M Street High School, a historic landmark at 128 M Street NW, and how this leading school’s administration, faculty and students shaped DC. M Street High School operated between 1891 and 1916, before relocating to the newly constructed Dunbar High School. This poster series from the Perry School Community Services Center (partially funded by HumanitiesDC), seeks to honor M Street High School's impressive legacy by pairing historic alumni with contemporary leaders who exhibit similar values of excellence through their contributions to society. Check out the tour on DC Historic Sites to learn more about these figures: https://lnkd.in/eCZxaYhp Or visit the project website to view all of the posters and learn more about ongoing work: https://lnkd.in/ekXcwxPx #posters #learn #art #education #support #preservation

Uber. 🚗 Love it or hate it, gig companies like Uber appear across the country as solutions to urban problems: underemployment, failing public transit systems, racial inequities, and anxieties about global economic competitiveness. But is it a solution? Join us at 5 pm on Friday with authors Katie Wells and Declan Cullen with Gerren Price from the DowntownDC BID to look back at the recent history of Uber’s arrival in the District. Hear what questions Uber’s victory in DC raise about private companies’ role in usurping government responsibility and undercutting the value of social services. After the conversation, get your books signed by the authors. Stick around the Carnegie for Apple’s Friday evening DJ series from 6 to 7:30 pm. Sign up: https://buff.ly/3I6wVyj
