About this product

Product Information

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.

"Makes a great contribution to the little-known history of black Washington." ? Washington Post Book World "A handsomely illustrated volume about a segment of Georgetown's population that has often been hidden or ignored in the past.... As Black Georgetown Remembered demonstrates, much of Georgetown's African-American history can still be found within the community itself, especially in its church records and the personal papers and memories of various families.... The use of these materials, as well as the oral history interviews with black Georgetown residents, both past and present, invite readers to see the community from within, rather than as outsiders just passing through." ? Maria R. Goodwin , Washington History, reviewing a past edition

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
