SUMMARY:Culture Series: Capital City Haunts
DESCRIPTION:Event Details: \nGhost stories are real! It says so right there on the label!  Wherever you fall on the spectrum of belief about ghosts themselves\, their stories tell us much about how we view the afterlife and even the living world around us.

How have these stories been used by the living\, both intentionally and otherwise?  \n Come join author and tour guide Tim Krepp as he leads a panel discussion to explore these questions and so much more!  \nHost: HumanitiesDC\nDate: October 17\, 2024 • 7PM\nLocation: Busboys and Poets\, 2021 14th St. NW 20009 \nEvent fee: Free\nRegistration Event link \nFor More Information\nContact: Jimmy Watkins\nWebsite: humanitiesdc.org\nEmail: jwatkins@humanitiesdc.org\nPhone: 202.770.3077 Ext. 806

SUMMARY:DC Oral History Collaborative: Oral History 101+ Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This course\, led by Anna F. Kaplan\, PhD.\, will introduce Washingtonians interested in becoming oral historians to the best practices of doing oral history\, to empower them with the basic tools for developing their style and approach to preserving DC’s rich past through oral history interviews. \nThis course is structured to follow the full cycle of an oral history interview\, from conception to processing. We will discuss practical and theoretical considerations of doing oral history in order to demonstrate the distinctive\, interdisciplinary mindset that oral historians take to their work. Because oral history is best learned “on the job\,” the instructor will ask you to do activities and to discuss your experiences along the way. \nThere is a lot of material to cover\, so participants will also be asked to do some reading and exercises prior to each session. \nThis workshop consists of three sessions – registrants must commit to participating in all three sessions. \nRegistration Link \n— \nJanuary 13\, 14\, 16 \n6:00pm-8:00pm \nMartin Luther King\, Jr. – 4th Floor Conference Room Space – 401-C \n— \nThe DC Oral History Collaborative (DCOHC) documents\, preserves\, and celebrates the lived experiences of all Washington\, DC residents and communities through oral history. The Collaborative accomplishes this by providing training\, mentorship\, resources\, programs\, and funding to current and aspiring oral historians.

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
