Today we broke up into teams looking at the different mediums we are going to be using, i.e. Trello, Blogging, Wikitude, Mapstory, Twitter, and starting honing in on a general topic of study. At the moment we are considering doing Southeast Anacostia which will contrasts with the other section’s focus on the west end neighborhoods. We also decided that the time period should be between 1865 and 1935, with a stress on the migration trends, demographics, and reasons for migration. We have started looking at different documents and getting a sense of the backdrop for 1865 when the blacks started swarming the city at the end of the war. I would like to also look into government’s role in the migration, such as the ADA codes and regulations, and the efforts of the presidents to improve the city and move the alley dwellers.
