March Social Hour: The Black Power Movement In DC
Wednesday, March 24th @ 7:30 PM

DCCA is continuing its online social series that includes a presentation on a topic of interest followed by a group discussion about it. We are pleased to present a March session about the Black Power movement in DC.

Join us for a fascinating discussion led by George Derek Musgrove, Ph.D. an Associate Professor at the University of Maryland Baltimore County. Dr. Musgrove is the co-author, with Chris Myers Asch, of Chocolate City: A History of Race and Democracy in the Nation’s Capital and has launched a new website that explores an antecedent to today’s Black Lives Matter movement and push for racial justice — the Black Power movement. Dr. Musgrove tells the story of how the District became a national center of Black Power organizing. That story has many connections to Dupont Circle.
