Recorded 6:00pm ET | Sunday, September 13th
Following up from our session at noon: Making of Adams Morgan, Adams Morgan Day is proud to celebrate the neighborhood’s cultural roots and their relevance for today’s community leaders. Engage with us in a community-led discussion facilitated by cultural historian Jose Centeno-Melendez to learn more about how Black and brown millennial artists and movement builders are cultivating dynamic spaces to engage with Latinx-based experiences in the city. This conversation will explore cultural workers’ ties to the Adams Morgan area and the significance behind their work as artists, DJ’s, documentarians, neighborhood historians, and community advocates. Join us as we center their voices and learn more about what it takes to keep making a neighborhood beat.
