The History of the Adams Morgan Plaza is a forum and photography display about the long community life of the property at the corner of 18th & Columbia.
The forum will cover the time of the Knickerbocker Theater disaster in 1922 up to the time Truist Bank put a fence around the plaza in 2022. The presence of an easement on the plaza has been the focus of litigation since 2016. The forum and display will educate the community on the specific issues involved in the litigation and why it is important that the Adams Morgan Plaza remain a public space for continued community use.
The project is sponsored by a grant from the DC Humanities Council awarded to longtime community photographer and activist Nancy Shia, www.outmywindowbynancyshia.org
