Class Action: Education and Opportunity in the Nation’s Capital Exhibit Opening

A family-friendly, interactive exhibition, “Class Action: Education and Opportunity in the Nation’s Capital” showcases the ways in which DC parents, students, teachers, advocates, and activists have fought for educational equality for Black children in the District for over two centuries.

The story of education in DC will be told through a variety of images, text, oral histories, and interactive elements. Visitors will find old-fashioned chalkboards, a library nook, costume locker, and playful vintage furniture. School-related props will take adults down memory lane and introduce children to classroom staples from yesteryear.
