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.
