SUMMARY:Black Power Context Study & Youth Pride Inc. Webinar
DESCRIPTION:In 2020\, the DC Preservation League received a $50\,000 grant from the African American Civil Rights Program\, as administered by the National Park Service (NPS)\, to fund the creation of a study entitled Black Power in 20th Century Washington\, DC: A Context Study. Written by historian George Derek Musgrove\, this study explores the DC Black Power Movement in all of its diversity. Though often caricatured as angry and violent street protesters\, DC Black Power activists created independent schools\, art studios\, and police oversight boards; stood up a community museum\, and made the district into a hotbed of anti-colonial organizing for decades to come. Join Dr. Musgrove for an overview of this important project\, with a specific focus on the nomination of the Youth Pride Inc. building to the DC inventory and National Register. \nGeorge Derek Musgrove\, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor of History and Africana Studies at the University of Maryland\, Baltimore County. He is the author of Rumor\, Repression\, and Racial Politics: How the Harassment of Black Elected Officials Shaped Post-Civil Rights America (U. of Georgia\, 2012) and co-author\, with Chris Myers Asch\, of Chocolate City\, A History of Race and Democracy in the Nation’s Capital (UNC\, 2017). His work has appeared in the Washington Post\, National Public Radio\, the New York Times and The Root. He is currently working on a book project tentatively titled “We must take to the streets again”: The Movement Resurgence in Conservative America\, which explores the burst of black activism that rose in opposition to the urban crisis and the conservative retrenchment in the 1980s and 90s. He earned his Ph.D. from New York University in 2005 and now lives with his wife and two sons in Washington\, D.C. \nRegister online here! \nOn the day of the event\, join here: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/81994446914 \nIf registered\, you will also receive the Zoom link directly in your inbox the morning of the event.

SUMMARY:Asbury United Methodist Church History Tour (Members Only)
DESCRIPTION:Asbury United Methodist Church was organized in 1836 when a group of free and enslaved persons\, some of whom had worshipped in a segregated manner at Foundry Methodist Episcopal Church\, established the Asbury Aid Society. This group of about 50 to 75 persons became a separate congregation and ultimately built a new church at 11th and K Streets. Today\, Asbury United Methodist Church is the oldest church in Washington\, D.C. still worshipping on its original site. \nAt the apex of the Civil War\, in 1864\, the congregation replaced the frame structure for a brick building\, and the existing church structure was erected in 1915 in the late Gothic Revival style. With its rich and colorful history\, Asbury has been a bulwark for social justice for more than 188 years. Join DCPL for this community history tour and learn even more! \n  \nRegister here!\nThis event is for DCPL Members only. Please register online through your member account and we look forward to seeing you there! Not a member? Become one here.

SUMMARY:From Dupont to Deanwood\,  Isaac and Mary Scott’s Homeownership Journey and the Role Race Plays in DC’s Residential History
DESCRIPTION:Join the DC Preservation League and Edith Michel\, Senior Manager of Education & Collections at Woodrow Wilson House for an engaging webinar about Isaac and Mary Scott\, a Black American husband and wife couple who were in service to President Woodrow Wilson for many years.  Learn about their homeownership journey to Deanwood. Edith will identify the historical context that explains how Isaac and Mary Scott bought a home in Deanwood\, a historically Black middle-class neighborhood.  In the webinar\, we will also learn how racially restrictive covenants helped establish white and Black D.C. neighborhoods and limited Black homeownership in D.C.  Their story jumpstarts a conversation on the state of black homeownership in Deanwood today. \nRegister here! \n  \n \n  \nEdith Michel has been in her role as Senior Manager of Education and Collections at the Woodrow Wilson House Museum\, a National Trust for Historic Preservation site in Washington DC for two years. She believes museums have a social justice role and considers herself a “Griot for Social Justice.” Her focus is on telling stories that have been underrepresented at the museum and activating a more nuanced understanding of equity and inclusion as it relates to Wilson’s legacy. She is also a Certified Parks and Recreation Professional and a National Association for Interpretation Certified Interpretation Guide.
