Journalist Jesse J. Holland explains how Capitol Hill transformed as Black Washingtonians went from renting to owning homes side-by-side with their white neighbors. Also, Mary Quillian Helms, owner of Mr. Henry’s bar, discusses the Capitol Hill landmark’s history as an inclusive spot for Black and queer patrons, and a highlight of the local music scene with a connection to Roberta Flack.
