SUMMARY:“These Streets: Comparing the Uprisings of 1968 and Today”: An Online Conversation with Kyla Sommers and Tony Gittens
DESCRIPTION:This June people took to the streets of Washington to protest police brutality against Black Americans in the wake of the murder of George Floyd by an officer of the law. Comparisons to the uprisings of 1968 were unavoidable. Washingtonians’ response to the assassination of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr.\, was similarly a response to racism\, inequality\, and uncertainty in American life. \nBut how similar are these events? What has changed\, locally and nationally\, since 1968? What has not? Are there lessons we can learn from the uprisings of more than 50 years ago to achieve real and lasting change in the future? \nHistorian Kyla Sommers and activist and arts leader Tony Gittens will consider the parallels between the uprisings of 1968 and the protests sparked by the murder of George Floyd and so many others at the hands of police. \nThese Streets is the latest installment in our Context for Today series of online conversations with thoughtful and thought-provoking historians. \nKyla Sommers is the digital engagement editor at American Oversight. Previously\, Sommers was editor-in-chief of the History News Network\, a website dedicated to historically contextualizing breaking news. She earned a Ph.D. in American history from George Washington University after writing her dissertation\, “‘I Believe in the City:’ The Black Freedom Struggle and the 1968 Civil Disturbances in Washington\, D.C.” She received the 2016 Curt C. and Else Silberman Foundation Fellowship from the Historical Society of Washington\, D.C. \nTony Gittens\, founder and director of the Washington\, DC International Film Festival\, was a student at Howard University in 1968 and witnessed the uprising and its aftermath. He served three mayors as executive director of the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities from September 1996 to July 2008. Among the recognitions he has received for his contributions to the arts are Knight in the Order of Arts and Letters\, French Ministry of Culture and Communications; the Mayor’s Award for Excellence in Service to the Arts; and Public Humanist of the Year from HumanitiesDC. Gittens serves on the boards of the National Cherry Blossom Festival\, the Capital Fringe Festival\, the Washington Literacy Center\, and the Kennedy Center Community Advisory Committee. \nRegister here to receive your link to the Zoom event. The recommended donation with registration is $20\, but the Historical Society welcome donations of any amount to defray expenses. Per the Historical Society\, you may also register for free if your budget is a little tight right now.

SUMMARY:Take the 2020 U.S. Census
DESCRIPTION:2020 U.S. Census: First the bad news: the deadline for responding to the 2020 Census has been cut short by a month to September 30 and DC lags the U.S. response rate. The good news is that it takes just a few minutes to get counted online\, over the phone or by mail—all without having to meet someone in person. All you need is your address to respond. The Census is a once-a-decade undertaking to count every person – regardless of age\, nationality or immigration status – who currently lives in the United States. Billions of dollars in Federal financial assistance\, such as emergency funding in support COVID-19 operations\, is directly tied to the Census\, so please take a few minutes for your city and get counted! \n

SUMMARY:Federal Experiments and Their Consequences: Urban Renewal with DC History Center
DESCRIPTION:Our friends at the Historical Society of Washington\, D.C. invite you to join them on Wednesday\, September 23 at 7:30pm for the virtual conversation\, “Federal Experiments and Their Consequences: Urban Renewal.” Journalist and activist Sam Smith and local reporter Derrick Ward will address these questions and more during the online discussion: \n\nWhat are some of the federal experiments that reshaped our city?\nWhen and how did Washingtonians band together to take control of their destiny?\nWhere were federal government programs when we most needed them?\nHow does the lack of voting representation in Congress touch the lives of Washingtonians?\n\nVisit the related link to below for a complete description of the event and to RSVP. A suggested registration donation of $20 is requested (if able to pay) to support current and future program costs. Located immediately adjacent to Mount Vernon Triangle at The Carnegie Library at Mount Vernon Square\, The Historical Society of Washington DC and its DC History Center help to collect\, interpret and share the history of our Nation’s Capital. \nToday more than 700\,000 people are without a voice when the country’s lawmakers decide to take consequential actions such as going to war or impeaching a president. The founders thought proximity to power would mean access to power for Washingtonians. Instead\, the city’s position as home to the federal government and under its legal control has often made DC a laboratory for such federal experiments as urban renewal\, in which citizens and local lawmakers have no say. Smith and Ward have written about – and lived through – many years of DC’s experiences as an experimental lab for Congress. They will look at the history of urban renewal across the District to consider implications of federal control for our current day. \nTo participate in this virtual event\, please register here to receive your link to the Zoom event.

SUMMARY:Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib : Busboys and Friends Zoom Dinner
DESCRIPTION:Busboys and Poets has always been a place for artists\, activists\, and writers of the community to gather and break bread. And while we may be physically distant right now\, we can still stay connected and break bread together. \nJoin us on Zoom for Busboys and Friends: A Virtual Dinner Party held every Friday night at 6 pm. Hosted by CEO and Founder\, Andy Shallal with a special dinner guest each week. \nOrder your favorite meal and beverage from Busboys and Poets\, set your table\, and tune in for a special dinner with some of the most influential leaders of our time. \nThis week’s very special dinner guest is Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib. \nRashida Tlaib is a well-known progressive warrior and\, in her own words\, “a mother working for justice for all.” Her two young sons are at the root of her unwavering passion to help change lives for the better. She is the oldest of 14 children\, born and raised in Detroit\, the proud daughter of Palestinian immigrant parents. \nRashida made history in 2008 by becoming the first Muslim woman to ever serve in the Michigan Legislature. She is beloved by residents for the transformative constituent services she provided\, and for successfully fighting the billionaires and corporations that tried to pollute her district. When families get to know Rashida\, they have no doubt that she will work tirelessly to knock down barriers for real change\, and whether by policy or action\, she will roll up her sleeves to make sure her residents are cared for\, no matter how big the challenge. \nWhen billionaire slumlord Matty Moroun refused to follow the law and get polluting semi-trucks off neighborhood streets\, Rashida organized residents with the We Have A Right To Breathe campaign and forced Moroun to fulfill his obligations to protecting public health. When large piles of black dust started showing up on the Detroit riverfront and blowing into homes and parks\, and the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality told residents everything was fine\, Rashida collected samples and got the substance tested herself – exposing the cancer-causing “petroleum coke” as a threat\, and getting it removed. \nAs an attorney at the Sugar Law Center for Economic and Social Justice\, Rashida took the movement to the courts\, fighting racist emergency managers\, abusive state agencies\, and leading the fight for community benefits agreements that promote equitable development. Rashida knows that effective advocacy requires an all-out approach\, fighting in the community\, in the legislature\, and in the courts every day against injustice and inequality\, so that every single person in this country has a chance to thrive. \nShe is currently the Congresswoman for Michigan’s 13th Congressional District\, which includes the city of Detroit and many surrounding communities. \nFREE\, RSVP via Eventbrite to receive the Zoom link 24 hours before the event date.
