content: Samir Meghelli (presenter); Dominic Moulden; Andy Shallal; Quique Avilés ;After a half-century of population decline and disinvestment, Washington, D.C., along with other U.S. urban centers, has been witnessing a "return to the city"—with rapidly rising populations, rents, and home prices, but also deepening inequality. This discussion with local community leaders, organizers, and artists is related to the Smithsonian Anacostia Community Museum's forthcoming exhibition A Right to the City (2018), which explores the history of a diverse range of D.C. neighborhoods and how their residents helped to shape and reshape their communities in extraordinary ways. Participating in this discussion will be Dominic Moulden from ONE DC, Busboys and Poets owner Andy Shallal, and Paso Nuevo director Quique Avilés.
