This is a Sidewalk Study taking place in the U Street corridor in Washington, DC. It is held by the Strother School of Radical Attention and centers on Toni Morrison's 'Song of Solomon'. Participants will time travel through the historic U Street corridor and the newly re-opened African American Civil War Museum, starting from 'The Spirit of Freedom' sculpture, to learn what the past wants to impress upon us about the names we carry and what it takes to seek justice.
