Description
We don't know much about this image, but there are a few things that stand out and why I think it's important to the project.
- It shows what looks like a normal day in DC, which gives a bit of insight into how Union Station was used by the locals socailly.
- It also shows us how African Americans and Whites were interacting at the time in the District.
- Lastly, it's fun to see people enjoying the fountain.
