- 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, Angie Whitehurst, a native Washingtonian, chats about her memories of restaurants and antique stores that don't exist in Adams Morgan anymore. She discusses changes in the neighborhood and the detrimental effects of housing and business developments that favors property over people.
