You’re invited to the Washington, D.C., Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library for an exploration of the history of Jewish Washington, D.C. Join them as they uncover the narratives and legacies that have profoundly influenced the identity of the capital city.

The Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library proudly presents this opportunity to learn more about Jewish history in the D.C. region, featuring curator Sarah Leavitt, who has spent the last several years writing this history for the new museum. Together, we will trace the varied stories of Jewish Washingtonians as grocers, government workers, agitators, developers, community builders, and more.

Following the lecture, Arno Rosenfeld, enterprise reporter at the Forward, will lead an interactive conversation. He’ll deep dive into the discussed topics and facilitate a Q&A session.

This event is hosted by the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library.
