Book Description:
Americans, especially Washingtonians, are very proud of our nation’s capital, particularly the city’s neighborhoods. Adams Morgan is one neighborhood that boasts the best of what America has to offer: thriving, multilayered diversity with a rich international flavor. Soon after the ruling of Brown vs. Board of Education in 1954, the John Q. Adams School, a white school, combined with the Thomas P. Morgan School, a black school, to create the diversity we know and cherish today.
Author Bio: Then & Now: Adams Morgan features local photographers Nancy Shia and Earl Fenwick Jr. Coauthors Celestino Zapata and Josh Gibson are residents of the neighborhood.
