SUMMARY:Webinar: A Walk through River Terrace: Home\, Community and Activism in a Northeast DC Waterside Neighborhood
DESCRIPTION:River Terrace is a small\, cul de sac community of about 2000 residents located on the bank of the Anacostia River in northeast Washington DC. First appearing on Captain John Smith’s 1612 map of the Chesapeake Bay\, evidence of early Nacotchtank (Anacostan) American Indian settlement indicates that this part of the Anacostia River was a hive of trade and activity for thousands of years. Once predominantly rural\, modern day River Terrace was laid out in 1937 as a whites-only community featuring a school\, grocery store and church\, with ‘Rustic English Village’ inspired brick row houses designed by renowned architect George T. Santmyers. River Terrace was one of the first neighborhoods in DC to desegregate in 1948 when restrictive covenants in house deeds were declared unconstitutional by the US Supreme Court\, and since then has been home to many of the city’s Black luminaries\, including environmental activist and author George Gurley\, Tuskegee Airman Major L. Anderson II\, and the first African American woman to serve on the Board of Governors of the Biological Photographic Association Luvenia C. Miller RBP. The River Terrace Community Organization\, founded in 1950\, is the longest running continually active community organization in the country. Join us for a virtual walk through River Terrace where we’ll introduce you to the people and places that make our community unique. \nThis webinar is presented by the River Terrace Community Organization’s Art\, Culture and Events Committee. \nREGISTER HERE\nImage credits\nMap: Image inset of Map of the District of Columbia\, Library of Congress Geography and Map Division Washington\, D.C. 20540-4650 USA dcu \nPhotos and certificate: Courtesy Deborah Grimstead\n

SUMMARY:Walking Tour: Historic Mount Pleasant
DESCRIPTION:The Mount Pleasant neighborhood of Washington\, DC\, along with nearby Adams Morgan and Columbia Heights\, became the center of DC’s Latino community in the postwar era. In the 1940s\, Puerto Ricans and Mexicans arrived in the capital to obtain work in the expanding federal bureaucracy. In the 1950s and 1960s\, Latin American diplomats brought embassy staff to Adams Morgan\, moving in alongside an influx of Dominicans and Cubans seeking economic opportunity and an escape from political conflict in their home countries. The growing Latin American community continued its expansion into Mount Pleasant and Columbia Heights through Salvadoran and Central American immigration in the 1970s and 1980s\, as civil war and domestic unrest unfolded in various nations. \nThrough the National Park Service’s Underrepresented Communities Grant Fund\, DCPL and the DC Historic Preservation Office collaborated on a historic context study\, published in 2025\, focused on DC’s Latino community. In addition to this study exploring the city’s Latino history\, two properties associated with this history\, Rosemount Center/House of Mercy and the Latin American Youth Center\, were added to the National Register of Historic Place. This tour will visit these recently designated historic landmarks\, as well as several locations in the Mount Pleasant Historic District. \nThis tour will start in front of the Next Step Public Charter School\, 3047 15th St NW\, and end at the Rosemount Center\, 2000 Rosemount Avenue NW. The route is approximately 0.8 miles. The return route from Rosemount Center has a slight incline\, so please plan accordingly. \nDCPL Member Tickets are $15 | Non-Member Tickets $25 \n**Please Note** DCPL members must be signed in to their DCPL online account in order to receive the member ticket price. If you have any trouble registering\, email kelli@dcpreservation.org \nCancellations/Refunds: Requests for refunds will only be considered more than 5 days prior to the event\, and transaction fees will be subtracted from the refund total. Cancellations 5 days or less from the event will not be refunded\, but the ticket cost can be converted to a tax-deductible donation. \nREGISTER HERE
