Lunch and Learn: Black Broadway in Washington DC with Briana Thomas

Co-presented with the Prince George's County Office of Human Rights

This spring, grab your favorite lunch at noon and tune in to virtual conversations with the Prince George’s County Office of Human Rights and the Prince George’s County Memorial Library System on topics from repairing the effects of racial injustice to fighting for equitable access to recovering from exile and loss. Let’s learn together!

This week, we are excited to welcome Briana Thomas to Lunch and Learn. Briana wrote the book Black Broadway in Washington, DC and hosts walking tours on U Street that explore the forgotten Black history of the area.
