    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in die adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at die upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • Walter Edward Washington (1915-2003): a Photo Tribute
    Washington History in the Classroom This article, © the Historical Society of Washington, D.C., is provided free of charge to educators, parents, and students engaged in remote learning activities. It has been chosen to complement the DC Public Schools curriculum during this time of sheltering at home in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. “Washington History magazine is an essential teaching tool,” says Bill Stevens, a D.C. public charter school teacher. “In the 19 years I’ve been teaching D.C. history to high school students, my scholars have used Washington History to investigate their neighborhoods, compete in National History Day, and write plays based on historical characters. They’ve grappled with concepts such as compensated emancipation, the 1919 riots, school integration, and the evolution of the built environment of Washington, D.C. I could not teach courses on Washington, D.C. Bill Stevens engages with his SEED Public Charter School history without Washington History.” students in the Historical Society’s Kiplinger Research Library, 2016. Washington History is the only scholarly journal devoted exclusively to the history of our nation’s capital. It succeeds the Records of the Columbia Historical Society, first published in 1897. Washington History is filled with scholarly articles, reviews, and a rich array of images and is written and edited by distinguished historians and journalists. Washington History authors explore D.C. from the earliest days of the city to 20 years ago, covering neighborhoods, heroes and she-roes, businesses, health, arts and culture, architecture, immigration, city planning, and compelling issues that unite us and divide us.

This project centers on the Free D.C. Movement, a political crusade to fully enfranchise Washingtonians, through grassroots organizing and by pressuring the Federal government to address the political, social, and economic ills that plagued the nation’s capital for nearly a century. Washingtonians’ struggle for full political enfranchisement was one of the most significant goals and significant shortcomings of the 20th century. ii Washington has been an under-researched part of Civil Rights Movement history, even though the city had an instrumental role during this era. My project explores the “Free D.C.” Movement through the lens of residential segregation, employment, and education. I examine how the desire for institutional changes and improvements in these areas helped shape and direct the local movement, and consequently undermined Washington, D.C.

  • White House, Chocolate City: Reading DC in the Era of Marion Barry
    White House, Chocolate City: Reading DC in the Era of Marion Barry Rachel Page Advised by Professor Austin Graham May 1, 2020 At the end of Ward Just’s 1994 novel Echo House, an elderly White man topples from his home’s grand staircase to his death.1 The man is Washington political power broker Axel Behl, and his death takes place at his own birthday party—and in front of none other than the president of the United States, who has just awarded him the prestigious Presidential Medal of Freedom. As his guests applaud him with champagne glasses in hand, Axel stares into empty space, his eyes “widening as if he had seen an apparition or some half-remembered figure from the distant and irrevocable past”—some ghost embedded, it seems, in the very walls of the house he was born and grew up in. Then he releases the brakes of his wheelchair, “slowly pressed both palms over his eyes and waited.”2 If Axel’s suicidal fall is positioned as a sort of flight from “the distant and irrevocable past,” it is equally significant as a gesture toward the future, or the lack thereof. In the final line of the novel, Axel’s adult son Alec registers his father’s death as a fatal blow to his own lifetime ambitions, musing that “This was the house he had inherited and the life he had made and he could not rid himself of either one; he guessed he had another thirty years to live.”3 But there is a fundamental paradox in Alec’s hopelessness: the Behl family’s future is foreclosed in the same breath as Axel is finally recognized as a figure of national importance, an achievement he has been working toward for a lifetime.

    51st | Episode 3: 'Take This Thing To The Streets' Mikaela Lefrak: [00:00] Previously on 51st, the D.C. statehood cause is getting more attention than ever before. We wanted to know what got us here, starting from the very beginning. Why did the founding fathers create D.C. the way they did? One of the reasons we found was a mutiny. Kenneth Bowling: This was the ancient horror of the army, the military overthrowing the republic. Mikaela Lefrak: [00:22] Out of fear, the founding fathers demanded that the new federal government have exclusive control over its home district, separate from all the states and the whims of their governors. But they never figured out one thing: how the residents of that district would vote. George Derek Musgrove: Because it doesn't provide a mechanism for D.C. residents to vote, in effect, [it] strips the local vote. Mikaela Lefrak: And then a D.C. official played fast and loose with the city's budget. Chris Myers Asch: Congress looks into it and says, woah, what have you done? Mikaela Lefrak: And Washingtonians lost their right to vote for nearly 100 years. [01:00] I'm Mikaela Lefrak. On this episode of 51st: the struggle for self-determination – how D.C. gained back the right to govern itself. Well, sorta gained it back. Mostly. Anyway, let's just dive in.
