SUMMARY:What is Oral History and Why is it Important?
DESCRIPTION:This introductory workshop will help participants define oral history in relationship to the history of the practice and other forms of interviewing and storytelling. Participants will learn what motivates oral historians to do their work and what might motivate them to initiate projects of their own. Participants will also learn how to discover archival oral history interviews and begin to understand what makes a good interview. Finally\, participants will think about how to turn their topical interests into guiding research questions. \nThis workshop session will be led by DC Oral History Collaborative co-founder and trainer Dr. Anna F. Kaplan. \nRegistration Link \n— \nAbout the Workshop Series \nThe DC Oral History Collaborative Workshop Series is a set of training sessions aimed at\, over time\, providing participants with an in-depth understanding of oral history principles and practices.

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
