D.C. History Conference: Mobility, Migration, and Movement
November 1-4, 2018 |
The D.C. History Conference Committee cordially invites presentations for the 45th annual conference on November 1-4, 2018. The 2018 conference explores themes related to “Mobility, Migration, and Movement,” including the creation of Metro, the impact of migration to the region, and the bicentennial of the birth of Frederick Douglass, a man for whom mobility meant an escape to freedom.We invite inquiry and exploration into the complex meanings of mobility, migration, and movement in a city that has witnessed the Great Migration of African Americans and has the second-largest community of El Salvadoran residents in the United States. We encourage proposals considering how our nation has welcomed the largest numbers of people of African descent in its history between 1990 and 2010.
