X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>In 2019\, Amanda Huron\, Associate Profess
 or of Political Science and Interdisciplinary Social Sciences at the Unive
 rsity of the District of Columbia\, started an oral history project aimed 
 at collecting stories from DC residents who were involved in tenant organi
 zing and housing activism in the 1970s. She recorded incredibly rich life 
 stories from 13 narrators who had been involved in early attempts to secur
 e affordable housing for their communities during early waves of gentrific
 ation and redevelopment. The stories illustrate how one&rsquo\;s early lif
 e experiences can influence a person&rsquo\;s later passions\, goals\, and
  careers. They show how activists were\, on the one hand a tight-knit comm
 unity of frequent collaborators\, but on the other\, a diverse group of pe
 ople from various backgrounds. For the first Coffee Chat of 2022\, Dr. Hur
 on will be joined by several of the project&rsquo\;s narrators\, as well a
 s at least one current community organizer for a panel conversation explor
 ing what these oral histories can teach us about present-day struggles for
  economic and social justice.</p>\nhttps://dclibrary.libnet.info/event/600
