Documenting Exclusion & Resilience
This project looks at the dynamics of exclusion among communities that generate both segregation as well as resilience in Northern Virginia. The project identifies and geo-locates racially restrictive covenants on properties in Northern Virginia from 1900 through the 1960s. This area is often referred to as NoVa and includes Arlington and Fairfax Counties and the cities of Alexandria, Fairfax, and Falls Church.

National Child Labor Committee Collection | The Library of Congress
Founded in 1904, the NCLC set out on a mission of "promoting the rights, awareness, dignity, well-being and education of children and youth as they relate to work and working." Starting in 1908, the Committee hired Lewis W. Hine (1874-1940) to carry out investigative and photographic work. The more than 5,100 photographic prints and 355 glass negatives together with the often extensive captions that describe the photo subjects, offers a detailed depiction of working and living conditions of many children--and adults--in the United States between 1908 and 1924.
