The architectural intent & #design of the many Washington Brutalist govn’t buildings are standing reminders of their original ethos. Brutalism is rooted in the #architecturaldesign belief of prioritizing functionality, honesty, & social purpose [and] often assoc. w/ socialist utopian ideas. #FreeDC

Norton Celebrates Birthday of Frederick Douglass, D.C. Voting Rights Champion WASHINGTON, D.C. –Today, Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) celebrated what is recognized as famed abolitionist Frederick Douglass' 206th birthday. Like many enslaved, Douglass did not know hi...
