Humanities Truck Community Archive

On August 28, 2021, the Humanities Truck joined with DC Sparkle Squad to commemorate the 58th anniversary of the March on Washington. The Humanities Truck and Sparkle Squad Truck were parked in Penn Quarter at the intersection of 8th and D Streets NW to conduct interviews, advocate for voting rights, and share joy. Truck project fellow Naoko Wowsugi worked with DC Sparkle Squad’s Kate Damon and Maps Glover to organize the event. Justice Black, host of “Just Talks with Justice” conducted interviews with event attendees inside the Truck, while Chelsea Soronen-Ritter and others from Chalk Riot decorated the surrounding sidewalks with voting-themed chalk art. A DJ from TwistedEgoz supplied the event with music all day.
