Humanities Truck Community Archive

The annual D.C. History Conference, formerly known as the Annual Conference on Washington, D.C. Historical Studies, is a collaboration among the Historical Society of Washington, D.C., George Washington University, the DC Public Library, and the DC Office of Public Records. Since 1973, the mission of the conference has been to provide a dynamic, friendly, and rigorous forum for discussing and promoting original research about the history and culture of the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. At the 2018 conference on November 2, 2018, the Humanities Truck presented a pop-up exhibit titled "Whose Downtown," created by Dan Kerr and charting the history of the Community for Creative Non-Violence (CCNV) shelter. This collection contains photos from the event.
