Landmark Lecture: The Black Side of the River: How We Talk about Race & Place in Washington, D.C.

D.C. has long been considered the original Chocolate City, a place where Black residents would find streets paved with gold. Hear sociolinguist Dr. Jessi Grieser trace this Black history and zero in on ways that residents of historic Anacostia use language as a means to push back against gentrification.

Note: This program will be held LIVE at Tudor Place and virtually. Proof of full vaccination is required to attend the Live event.
