The Humanities Truck made its first public appearance on September 9th at Adams Morgan Day 2018. It rained most of the day, but that didn’t dampen the spirits of those who set up the truck and its exhibits or the hundreds of visitors who stopped by.

The Humanities Truck exhibited Adams Morgan content from the Smithsonian Anacostia Community Museum’s “A Right to the City” exhibition about neighborhood organizing and historic photos of Adams Morgan from the Nancy Shia Collection at the DC Public Library.
