Description
Rivers sustain life and like all life, rivers have a story.....
The story of the Anacostia River is deeply entwined with all life in the area we now call DC.
The creation of the city named the District of Columbia came with the introduction of a population of Africans whose lives and that of the River began, over time, to reflect one another.
Any serious examination of the history of Africans in DC will inevitably intersect with the story of the Anacostia River.
Please join us as we begin to unfold this remarkable story.
What better way to learn this story than by getting to know the river personally?
Let’s begin by navigating this ancient waterway by canoe on a leisurely 4 hour guided tour.
