SUMMARY:THE MINUTES - Closing
DESCRIPTION:Night falls on Big Cherry\, USA\, a seemingly ordinary town with secrets festering beneath its folksy charm. As the city council meeting unfolds in real time\, tensions rise\, alliances shift\, and a routine agenda veers into chaos. What begins as civic procedure spirals into a gripping unmasking of buried truths and a chilling question: How far would you go to protect your version of the truth? From the razor-sharp pen of Pulitzer Prize winner Tracy Letts (AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY)\, THE MINUTES is a darkly hilarious\, slow-burning thriller that peels back the patriotic veneer of American identity. Part biting satire\, part psychological mystery\, it exposes the rot at the heart of institutional power and the stories we tell to survive it. \nReserve tickets

SUMMARY:Class Action Reads! Nothing Less Than Equality
DESCRIPTION:Join the DC History Center for a highly anticipated lecture from historian Tikia K. Hamilton about her new book Nothing Less Than Equality: The Battle over Segregated Education in the Nation’s Capital.  \nSchool desegregation was not inevitable. Before the landmark case Brown v. Board of Education and its companion case in DC\, Bolling v. Sharpe\, Black Washingtonians built a remarkable school system for their children. Led by outstanding educators with a curriculum designed for Black students\, some local activists argued that the issue wasn’t segregation; it was a need for resources to address overcrowding\, crumbling facilities\, and lack of materials and supplies. Some Black Washingtonians believed that the federal government should be compelled\, instead\, to fulfill its own Jim Crow mandate of “separate but equal\,” ensuring that Black schools received the same resources as white schools. \nWe know about the legacy of desegregation. But this complex\, lesser-known history complicates the questions and pushes us to think differently about “equality” both in the past and in our schools today. Join the DC History Center on Tuesday\, March 31 to welcome Dr. Tikia K. Hamilton\, whose work informed and shaped our exhibit Class Action: Education and Opportunity in the Nation’s Capital. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:National History Day
DESCRIPTION:National History Day in DC is a student research competition taking place on March 28\, 2026\, at Howard University. As the DC affiliate of National History Day\, the DC History Center leads a citywide program that connects students with primary sources\, research tools\, and content experts as they develop original projects aligned with the year’s theme. Each year\, local students conduct in-depth research to create documentaries\, exhibits\, performances\, research papers\, or websites exploring a wide range of historical topics. \nNational History Day is more than a competition—it is a yearlong learning experience. Serving more than half a million students nationally and internationally\, the program helps young people build critical skills in research\, writing\, analysis of primary sources\, and public speaking. In Washington\, DC\, students advance from school\, club\, or homeschool competitions to the citywide contest in March. Top projects from National History Day in DC then move on to the national competition in June. \nThis student-centered event will be held at Howard University. Teachers and families of competing students are encouraged to attend the DC citywide competition to cheer on the students! \nProjects will be available for wider viewing in the afternoon after student interviews.
