Filming History

Mrs. Lauretta Jackson has lived in LeDroit Park since the 1940s.  The Humanities Council of Washington DC, located in the white rowhouse at Vermont Avenue and U Street, sponsored this three-part interview with Mrs. Jackson.  It’s truly a fascinating window into the neighborhood’s history.  Mrs. Jackson explains the stories behind many of the neighborhood’s notable houses and details the neighborhood’s nineteenth-century birth.
