Making DC their classroom, sociology students boarded a bus to explore historic street art created by Latino artists in DC neighborhoods. In decades past, the neighborhoods of Columbia Heights, Petworth, Mount Pleasant, and Adams Morgan were home to a vibrant Latino immigrant community. Murals are a public representation of the lived experience of neighborhood residents and offer a record of change over time. The trip was co-sponsored as part of the Center for Global Education’s local-to-global initiative and the Sociology Department’s Place Matters in the DMV.<\/p>\n
