Jackson-Reed High School students and faculty have researched the deep and varied history of Fort Reno from the Civil War era forward–to include the story of Reno City, a Black community dismantled to make way for Alice Deal Middle School–in an effort to better understand how our community has evolved and changed. The results of their research were shared in an exhibit displayed in the windows of the old PEPCO substation on Wisconsin Ave in 2022-23.
This panel discussion will explore how the students’ engagement of local history is becoming a catalyst for action. Visit undesigndc.org to learn more about this and other programs presented in conjunction with Undesign the Redline, an exhibit about national and local housing discrimination on display at the Cleveland Park Neighborhood Library through July 11, 2024.
