Guided Tour Through History at the MVT Photo Walk!

November 7 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm EST
It looks like it’s going to be another beautiful Saturday here in the District so why not spend the morning outside taking a deep dive into “Class Action at the MVT Photo Walk” from 11am-12:30pm with a free guided tour led by Deputy Director of the DC History Center Anne McDonough? Participants will meet at 450K Apartments (450 K Street NW) before setting off on a guided walk through time chronicling pivotal moments in Federal education policy – from the antebellum period to the 2000s – through the eyes of everyday District schoolchildren.

We’re also thrilled to be joined by community historian and proud fourth-generation Washingtonian Marion Woodfork Simmons who was the Sousa Junior High Class of 1976 Valedictorian and can be found in the panoramic photo tiled on the western wall of Prather’s Alley. Marion will share her personal memories of being a student in Washington, DC during America’s Bicentennial celebrations as well as her experience working with the DC History Center to donate her uncle’s Cadet Corps uniform to the Class Action exhibit at the Carnegie Library.

Learn more about what’s in store for the day and register to attend via Eventbrite. We look forward to stepping through history with you this Saturday!
