SUMMARY:Culture Series: '91 We in a Dope Jam
DESCRIPTION:Event Details: \nBy the time Backyard Band released their hit single “‘91 We in a Dope Jam “\, go-go had become a defining cultural force in DC—shaping streetwear\, establishing legendary performance venues\, and inspiring a loyal community. \nWhile the go-gos cranked\, city officials struggled to battle a public health crisis that would record over 500 homicides by the end of the year. And when incidents of violence occurred at music venues\, officials raised questions about go-go’s role in the city’s struggles. \nBut was go-go actually to blame\, or was it a space for community and healing? Our panel of musicians\, artists\, and fans will complicate this question in a discussion facilitated by oral historians and DC natives Rhonda Henderson and Myron Long (The Dap Project). \nDon’t miss this exploration of a deep love for go-go culture and its complex ties to the city’s joy\, pain\, and resilience\, hosted by HumanitiesDCs’ Culture Series. \nA private viewing of the Go-Go Museum will take place at 6 pm (1920 Martin Luther King Jr. Ave SE)\, followed by a panel discussion at Busboys and Poets Anacostia at 7 pm (2004 Martin Luther King Jr. Ave SE)! \nASL Interpretation will be provided. \nRegistration Event link \nFor More Information\nContact: Jimmy Watkins\nWebsite: humanitiesdc.org\nEmail: jwatkins@humanitiesdc.org\nPhone: 202.770.3077 Ext. 806
