Join the DC History Center and Charles Sumner School Museum and Archives for a book talk about the history of Black public education and school architecture in the nation’s capital.
Education is essential for social equality, and Black Washingtonians recognize that for the American Dream to apply to them, their children need a quality education. In Model Schools in the Model City: Race, Planning, and Education in the Nation’s Capital, author Amber N. Wiley explains how DC school buildings became a physical realization of Black liberation, agency, and their right to exist as citizens of the United States. On Thursday, October 23, join us at the DC History Center for Dr. Wiley's first book talk in Washington, DC, moderated by Kimberly Springle, Executive Director of the Charles Sumner School Museum and Archives.
