FAMILY 365: Somos una familia!

Ties of the Black and Brown communities in DC go deep! Chuck Brown is the father of go-go, but did you know about the music’s Latin influence? We’re excited to announce a first-ever event in a celebration of similar and shared heritage, history, and identity. Plus—discover how to unlock the secrets of your own ancestry with renowned genealogists Dr. Shelley Murphy, Dr. Ellen Fernandez-Sacco, Mr. Melvin Collier, and more. Ms. Kenyatta Berry, former co-host of the “Genealogy Roadshow” will also be here! Verbal Gymnastics is bringing Playback Theatre (where storytelling and art meet community) to the party, so get ready for some amazing and interactive improv! We’ll also have the DC Office of the Medical Examiner onsite to highlight Black and Brown missing persons cases. Learn how genealogy is used to solve crime!

Live go-go, Lilo Gonzalez y Los de la Mount Pleasant, and DJ Buddah are on tap! Plus free food, a game truck, and more!

So come on out—there’s something for everyone!
