The Anacostia Community Museum is the primary institutional producer of the recovery record for Washington DC’s Southwest clearance, through the “A Right to the City” exhibition and the “Before the Bulldozers” walking tour that overlays Joseph Owen Curtis’s pre-renewal photographs on present-day streetscapes.
