SUMMARY:Culture Series: The War on Drugs in DC
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean for DC residents to say\, “the drug war is over”? \nIn 1989\, Washington\, DC\, was an epicenter for the crack epidemic. Elected officials\, including then-President George H.W. Bush\, politicized the city’s struggles to further misguided and punitive policies that were implemented by Nixon’s “war on drugs.” For decades\, these policies unjustly targeted Black and Brown Americans\, and DC was no exception. \nToday\, the reverberations of the drug war are still felt by generations of Washingtonians who saw sons\, daughters\, fathers\, mothers\, brothers\, sisters\, and friends locked away for drug offenses. The cycles of incarceration unraveled the fabric that binds families together and changed the life trajectory of those who found themselves in the crosshairs of the law. \nIn 2024\, we see a new era of progressive drug policies and restorative justice that includes cannabis legalization. As advocates grapple with new industry and legislation\, many are left wondering what it means to end the “war on drugs.” From ending incarceration and creating paths for re-entry to opportunities in new industries and the chance to build wealth\, what does it mean for DC residents to say\, “the drug war is over”? \nJoin HumanitiesDC and guest curator Caroline Phillips\, Founder and Executive Producer of the National Cannabis Festival\, for an engaging and thought-provoking discussion on this bold question in the upcoming Culture Series. \nASL Interpretation will be provided. \nRegistration Event Link

SUMMARY:Culture Series: Sex Work in Civil War Washington and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Washington\, DC saw an unprecedented rise in sex work during the Civil War due to the thousands of Union soldiers who flooded into the city for training. Brothels provided income\, shelter\, and independence for women who\, in some cases\, had few other places to turn. They built businesses and turned access to politicians into influence. \nThe DC neighborhood known as Federal Triangle used to be in DC’s early days\, a notorious slum known as Murder Bay and later as Hooker’s Division during the Civil War. The latter name evolved from the usage of that neighborhood as one of the city’s most concentrated red-light districts. The sex work industry exploded during the war due to the heavy presence of soldiers throughout wartime. \nBut why do we demonize sex workers? Why do we continue to stigmatize sex work? \nJoin HumanitiesDC and guest curator Katie Kirkpatrick in this Culture Series\, which will explore Murder Bay/Hooker’s Division during and after the Civil War. The event will bring together visual representations\, experts on Civil War Washington\, sex-work historians\, and members of today’s sex-work community to discuss how the oldest profession was practiced when it was legal\, compared to today’s ongoing struggle to recognize sex work as real work. \nThe event will begin with a walking tour starting at The Willard Center\, 1455 Pennsylvania Avenue NW\, Washington\, DC 20004. Please dress comfortably. \nASL Interpretation will be provided. \nRegistration Event Link

SUMMARY:Ribbon Cutting for Pickets\, Protests\, and Parades: The History of Gay Pride in Washington
DESCRIPTION:Registration Link \n  \nRainbow History Project invites you to a special celebration marking the official opening of our “Pickets\, Protests\, and Parades: The History of Gay Pride in Washington” exhibit at Freedom Plaza. This free outdor exhibit chronicles the local LGBTQ Pride movement and how the pickets and protests of the 1960s led to the vibrant celebrations of the 2020s. \nJoin us at 11:00 AM for a ribbon cutting ceremony recognizing the Community Pioneers—local leaders\, organizers\, and everyday heroes who advanced LGBTQ+ visibility and justice in DC. The brief program will feature remarks from project leaders\, community members\, and local dignitaries\, followed by photo opportunities and the ceremonial ribbon cutting. \nAt 12:00 PM\, our exhibit researchers will lead guided tours of the display\, offering historical context\, behind-the-scenes insights\, and personal stories that bring the exhibit panels to life. Located in the heart of downtown\, Freedom Plaza provides a fitting space to reflect on Pride’s evolving presence in public life and to honor those who have made it possible. \nThis event is free and open to all. Donations are welcome! This exhibition has been funded thus far by community organizations and individuals\, opposed to traditional funding for Pride initiatives seeking funds from corporations. \nWhether you’re a longtime resident\, a curious visitor\, or a dedicated history enthusiast\, we welcome you to be part of this special moment and experience the History of Pride from a uniquely local perspective. \nCelebrate our past. Empower our future. Join us at Freedom Plaza! \nAbout the Exhibit: \nThe exhibition disrupts the popularly held belief that the LGBTQ+ Rights Movement began with the Stonewall Riots in 1969 New York. While this pushback to police violence was vital\, DC’s LGBTQ+ history of resistance actually predates the Stonewall Riots. RHP recognizes this picket\, four years before the Stonewall Riots\, where 10 members of the Mattachine Society of Washington marched with signs in front of the White House–as the start of DC’s rich queer history. \nFrom 1965 to the present day\, the exhibition divides DC’s LGBTQ+ into ten eras that are explored in a visual timeline wall along Pennsylvania Avenue. Alongside the timeline wall are ten large cubes with archival photos of pickets\, protests\, and parades\, as well as portraits of Community Pioneers who championed each era called the Hero Cubes. The exhibits will premiere on Monday\, May 19th\, officially opening the exhibition to the over 3 million people expected to travel to DC for WorldPride.

SUMMARY:AC Panel: Identity and Belonging in Literature
DESCRIPTION:Seeking and achieving both a sense of self as an individual and a sense of belonging among others are two sides of the same coin. Our understanding and perception of these elements can have a profound effect on our lives\, on our cultures\, and on society as a whole. Writers often grapple with the nuances of the human condition\, and indeed many of its mysteries can unfold in stories that explore identity and belonging. Tope Folarin engages with local authors Patricia Coral\, Majda Gama\, and Varun Gauri to discuss the challenges and triumphs of self-identification. \nRegistration Link

SUMMARY:Beyond LGBTQ+: An Introduction to Queer Archaeology

SUMMARY:Culture Series: Vital Signs - DC and the Poetry of AIDS
DESCRIPTION:How did DC nurture—and challenge—the artists and writers who lived through the AIDS crisis? And what can DC residents learn from their legacy to help ignite our resistance to the challenges of our own time?  \nJoin HumanitiesDC and guest curators Kim Roberts and Regie Cabico for Culture Series: Vital Signs: DC and the Poetry of AIDS\, a powerful exploration of three groundbreaking poets: Essex Hemphill\, Tim Dlugos\, and Reinaldo Arenas—each of whom shaped the city’s literary landscape before their lives were cut short by AIDS. This evening of remembrance features a panel discussion with those who knew them best or were deeply influenced by their work. Also featured will be short readings of poems by other DC-based writers lost to AIDS\, including Garth Tate\, Mary Bowman\, Chasen Gaver\, and Jim Everhard—bringing more of these powerful voices back into the room. As we face new challenges in public health\, social justice\, and cultural memory\, this event asks the bold question: what can DC residents learn from their legacy to help ignite our resistance to the challenges of our own time? \nA handout of selected poems will be available to all attendees.  \nRegistration Event Link

DESCRIPTION:Calling all local oral historians: HumanitiesDC and the DC History Center are offering their next oral history meetup in Washington\, DC! \nJoin us at the DC History Center on Monday\, September 8 at 6 pm to be in community with other oral historians. During the meetup we’ll share ideas\, talk through challenges and obstacles\, and celebrate successes. You do not have to be a practicing oral historian to participate but come prepared to learn from others and to share your own thoughts\, perspectives\, and experiences. \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. The Collaborative is a partnership of HumanitiesDC and the DC Public Library. \nRegistration Link
