Georgetown's little-known Black heritage shaped a Washington, DC,
community long associated with white power and privilege. Black
Georgetown Remembered reveals a rich but little-known history of
the Georgetown Black community from the colonial period to the
present. Drawing on primary sources, including oral interviews with
past and current residents and extensive research in church and
historical society archives, the authors record the hopes, dreams,
disappointments, and successes of a vibrant neighborhood as it
persevered through slavery and segregation, war and peace,
prosperity and depression. This thirtieth anniversary edition of
Black Georgetown Remembered, first published in 1991, features more
than two hundred illustrations, including portraits of prominent
community leaders, sketches, maps, and nineteenth-century and
contemporary photographs. A new chapter includes a conversation
with former and current Georgetown residents reflecting on the
community, past and present. Black Georgetown Remembered is a
compelling and inspiring journey through more than two hundred
years of history. A one-of-a-kind book, it invites readers to share
in the lives, dreams, aspirations, struggles, and triumphs of real
people, to join them in their churches, at home, and on the street,
and to consider how the unique heritage of this neighborhood
intersects and contributes to broader themes in African American
and Washington, DC, history and urban studies.
