Thursday, April 25 at 6 pm | Free
Join us for this online program Thursday, April 25 at 6 pm as we dive into flooding as an environmental justice issue. This Earth Day, ask yourself: Who is most at risk of flooding in DC? Where in the city do local and federal governments invest funds to prevent flooding? What actions can we take today to prevent future flooding in the nation’s capital? Learn from our panel with research expertise, organizing histories, and lived experience about the history of rising waters in DC.
Curated by Carmen Bolt, PhD candidate in history from American University, this program is the latest installment in the DC History Center’s Context for Today series of online conversations with thoughtful and thought-provoking historians, activists, journalists, and community members.
