Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin May 2014 Dedication To the parent-warriors at Benjamin Latrobe Elementary School, in alliance of their quest for their children’s educational parity and their continued battle to secure educational equity across the great city of Washington, D.C. THE AFTERSCHOOL BATTLE: REPRODUCING A RACIAL BINARY IN AN URBAN SCHOOL Alysia Ann Childs, Ph.D. The University of Texas at Austin, 2014 Co-Supervisors: Kevin M. Foster and John L. Hartigan This dissertation project is a critical anthropological analysis of the impact of colorism on the educational attainment and academic trajectory of African-American school students in Washington, DC by examining teacher expectations. Through a historical and contemporary lens of public education in DC, I examine the ways in which a black-white racial binary has been used by those in decision-making positions – namely teachers, counselors, school administrators, Parents and Teachers Association members and other adult decision-makers -- as an indicator of a student’s academic ability and their future educational attainment.

  • Dc Homeowners' Property Taxes Remain Lowest in The
    An Affiliate of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities 820 First Street NE, Suite 460 Washington, DC 20002 (202) 408-1080 Fax (202) 408-8173 www.dcfpi.org February 27, 2009 DC HOMEOWNERS’ PROPERTY TAXES REMAIN LOWEST IN THE REGION By Katie Kerstetter This week, District homeowners will receive their assessments for 2010 and their property tax bills for 2009. The new assessments are expected to decline modestly, after increasing significantly over the past several years. The new assessments won’t impact homeowners’ tax bills until next year, because this year’s bills are based on last year’s assessments. Yet even though 2009’s tax bills are based on a period when average assessments were rising, this analysis shows that property tax bills have decreased or risen only moderately for many homeowners in recent years. DC homeowners continue to enjoy the lowest average property tax bills in the region, largely due to property tax relief policies implemented in recent years. These policies include a Homestead Deduction1 increase from $30,000 to $67,500; a 10 percent cap on annual increases in taxable assessments; and an 11-cent property tax rate cut. The District also adopted a “calculated rate” provision that decreases the tax rate if property tax collections reach a certain target. As a result of these measures, most DC homeowners have seen their tax bills fall — or increase only modestly — over the past four years. In 2008, DC homeowners paid lower property taxes on average than homeowners in surrounding counties. Among homes with an average sales price of $500,000, DC homeowners paid an average tax of $2,725, compared to $3,504 in Montgomery County, $4,752 in PG County, and over $4,400 in Arlington and Fairfax counties.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION In Washington, D.C., as across much of the nation, our country’s long history of housing discrimination and segregation continues to shape where people live, who their neighbors are, and what kind of access they have to our collective resources. In D.C., as well as the surrounding region, there remain stark patterns of residential segregation, even though today’s causes are in some ways more subtle than the redlining and restrictive covenants of the past. There are also meaningful disparities among demographic groups across a range of issues that closely intertwine with housing discrimination and segregation (and the equally long, related trajectory of disinvestment and economic vulnerability). The dramatic housing cost increases and waves of displacement experienced by many residents present an additional fair housing challenge for the District, often leading to both housing instability and the reconstitution of segregation and poverty.

  • Art All Night History
    ART ALL NIGHT HISTORY Art All Night: Nuit Blanche DC was first produced in 2011 by Ariana Austin and Alexander Padro of Shaw Main Streets, and funded with a grant from the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities. Ms. Austin and Mr. Padro’s goal was to bring Paris’ famed Nuit Blanche overnight arts and culture festival to Washington, DC and to produce an event that would unite the creative, cultural and international capital of our city. They redesigned the original festival and transformed it from an exclusively arts focused activity into a creative placemaking opportunity that gave equal importance to the art and to the places where it took place. In short, they created a promotional event that maximized its impact on neighborhood businesses. Curated by Ms. Austin and a team of volunteers, the first festival exceeded all expectations and attracted 15,000 attendees. A Taste of Art All Night followed in 2012 in the Penn Quarter, presented by the Downtown BID. In 2013, Shaw Main Streets brought back the full festival for an encore, with funding from the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities and the Department of Small and Local Business Development. In both 2011 and 2013, the event brought unprecedented attention to the DC metropolitan area’s art scene through the live indoor and outdoor musical performances and art installations which were presented in vacant commercial spaces and warehouses, in public spaces (libraries, recreation centers, and parks), and in theaters and art galleries. Notably, programming even took place inside businesses, some of which had never opened at night.
