- Description
- The Humanities Truck participated in the 2021 “Adams Morgan Day” Festival, which focuses on the neighborhood of Adams Morgan and its culture, diversity, and history. Oral history interviews were conducted to gauge festival-goers' relationship to Adams Morgan, meaningful spaces in the neighborhood, and how those spaces may have changed over time. In this interview, councilmember Brianne Nadeau, who first moved to Adams Morgan when she was 21, chats about transforming space in Ward 1 and that change is positive as long as it's meeting the needs of the community.
