The project will survey and publicize existing oral history collections, provide grants and training for scholars and amateur historians to launch new oral history projects, and establish an interactive, accessible platform where the city’s memories can benefit residents and scholars for generations to come. Origins of the DC Oral History Collaborative In 2016 D.C. Councilmember David Grosso expressed an interest in helping the citizens of Washington, D.C. gain access to hundreds of oral histories that illuminate our shared history but are difficult to find. In addition, having seen initiatives underway in other cities, the councilmember wanted to encourage the collection of new oral histories from elders and others whose stories need to be told and recorded for future generations. -

It extends from Glover Archbold Park on the west to North Capitol Street on the east. Its northern boundary is formed by Whitehaven Parkway west of Rock Creek, and by Connecticut Avenue, U Street, and Florida Avenue east of Rock Creek. The southern boundary is formed by the Potomac River, the Central Employment Area, and New York Avenue (east of 7th Street). These boundaries are shown on the Map at left. Most of this area has historically been Ward 2, although in past and present times parts have also been included in Wards 1, and 5, and 6. 2100.1 2100.2 Near Northwest is known for its historic architecture, well-established neighborhoods, lively shopping areas, and nationally recognized institutions. These features provide enduring reminders of the city’s growth, from the 18th century to today’s international city. The Georgetown Historic District, established in 1950 in response to the demolition of large numbers of waterfront and canal-related historic buildings, was the first historic district established in the city. -

Insights from Research on Dunbar High School
Journal of Case Studies in Education Volume 8 Advancing urban educational policy: Insights from research on Dunbar High School Archie Morris III, D.P.A. Bowie State University, MD ABSTRACT For a period of 85 years, the M Street/Dunbar High School was an academically elite, all- black public high school in Washington, D.C. As far back as 1899, its students came in first in citywide tests given in both black and white schools. Over this 85-year span, approximately 80 percent of M Street/Dunbar's graduates went on to college, even though most Americans, white or black, did not attend college at all. Faculty and students were mutually respectful to one another and disruptions in the classroom were not tolerated. Yet, in this era of best practices, this public high school has received virtually no attention in the literature or in policy considerations for inner-city education. The Dunbar High School, of today, with its new building and athletic facilities is just another ghetto school with abysmal standards and low test score results despite the District of Columbia's record of having some of the country's highest levels of money spent per pupil. The purpose of this study is to explore the history of a high school that was successful in teaching black children from low-income families and to determine if the learning model employed there could be successful in a modern inner-city public education environment.

D.C.'S Disconnect Between Citywide Enrollment
D.C.’S DISCONNECT BETWEEN CITYWIDE ENROLLMENT GROWTH AND NEIGHBORHOOD CHANGES CHELSEA COFFIN | AUGUST 26, 2019 The District of Columbia has become a more popular place to live, especially for families. Population growth began in 2006, with young adults between the ages of 20 and 34 driving much of this growth (see Figure 1). This growth in the number of young adults translated into an increase in the number of babies born per year starting in 2006, and an increase in the school-age population starting in 2012. Figure 1. Population change driven by young adults and higher levels of births The school-age population (aged 5 to 17) started to rise a few years later in 2012, growing by 9 percent from 2010 to 2017.1 Public school2 enrollment for pre-kindergarten to grade 12 likewise grew by 20 percent over this time period. This population growth has also led to increased demand for family housing3 and rising property values: Citywide, the total assessed real value of single-family homes4 increased by 8.7 percent from 2010 to 2018, even while the total number of these homes decreased by 2.8 percent.5 1 Coffin, C. 2018.
