How do we do public history?
Second-years @beccakaliff, @agallagherhist, @LexiZilen and Kate Calamito do public history by exhibiting their research with the @humanitiestruck.
Their work will also be exhibited at the upcoming @dchistcon in a poster session!
This semester a group of @aupublichistory students and I worked with @PrologueDC to document the history of the Columbian Harmony Cemetery, its removal from DC’s landscape, and current memorialization initiatives. Check out our online exhibit!
