"East of the River: Continuity and Change," (closes Nov. 9) offers provocative insight into the development and history of the Washington, D.C. communities east of the Anacostia River.
"Separate and Unequaled: Black Baseball in the District of Columbia" (opens in May; please call ahead for updated information). The exhibition tells the stories of the city’s early-19th-century black ball players. The exhibition will be accompanied by a traveling exhibition, "Discover Greatness," developed by the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. (At press time, dates and location were yet to be announced.)
