SUMMARY:History Conversations REWIND | Mapping Segregation: Racial Restrictive Covenants in Montgomery County
DESCRIPTION:with John Liebertz | pre-recorded virtual event | For the majority of the twentieth century\, private and public sectors channeled and influenced development of the county based on race and ethnicity. Montgomery Planning built a mapping tool that illustrated historic patterns of segregation inside the Capital Beltway (I-495) by recording racial restrictive covenants in the land records. This presentation discusses the conclusions of our analysis\, how de facto and de jure segregation limited opportunities for people of color\, and the efforts by the Black community\, local activists\, and organizations to open the suburbs to all. Originally presented at the January 2023 History Conference.

SUMMARY:History Conversations REWIND | Montgomery County’s “Gift” to DC: The Washington Aqueduct
DESCRIPTION:with Ralph Buglass | pre-recorded virtual event | The Washington Aqueduct\, carrying drinking water to the nation’s capital but running mostly through Montgomery County from Great Falls\, was a technological marvel when completed 160 years ago in 1864. After all that time of continuous service\, it is currently undergoing a major rehabilitation. Through current and historical photos\, Ralph Buglass will relate the fascinating history of this project\, now a National Landmark\, and look at its equally fascinating chief engineer\, Montgomery Meigs\, who was also Quartermaster General of the U.S. Army during the Civil War. In charge of all the troop logistics\, Meigs has been described as “second only to General Ulysses Grant” in winning the war for the Union. Recording available May 11 – 17
