DC: Fifty Years of Home Rule

About

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of home rule in the District of Columbia, the Library sponsored a panel discussion on "50 Years of Home Rule" moderated by WAMU's Kojo Nnamdi ("The Politics Hour") and featuring Tom Sherwood (longtime D.C. journalist and co-author of "Dream City: Race, Power and the Decline of Washington D.C."), Judy Richardson (co-founder of the Drum and Spear Bookstore and "Eyes on the Prize" documentarian), G. Derek Musgrove (historian and co-author of "Chocolate City: A History of Race and Democracy in the Nation's Capital"), and Kyla Sommers (historian and author of "When the Smoke Cleared: The 1968 Rebellions and the Unfinished Battle for Civil Rights in the Nation's Capital"). Passage of the Home Rule Act of 1973 enabled Washington D.C., residents to elect their own city council and mayor in 1974 for the first time since the 19th century.
