East of the River exhibit at the Historical Society

While I don't think it's the most amazing exhibit, the exhibit, "East of the River: Continuity and Change," produced a few years ago by the Smithsonian Anacostia Community Museum and now on display at the Historical Society of Washington til the end of the month, is worth looking at. There are some interesting images, a good explication of the historical themes, and a set of video oral histories on a loop.
