Meeting the Moment: Commentary on 2020
"Meeting the Moment" came together in the summer of 2020 as a response to the global pandemic and ongoing Black Lives Matter protests. Washington History challenged DC historians to look back into their research and ask: what could DC's past tell us about how we arrived at this moment? What are this moment's implications for our next steps as a community? These essays probe the old structures and experiences, dating back to the District's founding, that shape our present.
