Usually I recognize Black History Month by looking at the father of Negro History Week ( which became Black History Month), Dr. Carter G. Woodson and his most famous book The Mis-Education of the Negro.
Nope.
I’m not doing that.
Instead I will do some Truxton Circle based Black History and look at a very interesting book, First Class: The Legacy of Dunbar, America’s First Black Public High School by Dunbar alumna Alison Stewart. I first listened to the audio-book and was so blown away, I bought the dead tree version.
So that’s what’s in store for February 2024.
That and more of the 1700 block of New Jersey Ave NW.
In March I’ll get back to WSIC houses.
