Since its founding in 1967, the Anacostia Community Museum has developed and hosted over 150 exhibitions on topics ranging from local history to internationally recognized African American art. In many cases, themes emerged from conversations with neighbors and colleagues in and around Washington, D.C. A timeline of past exhibitions reveals pioneering work to celebrate Black culture, amplify community voices, draw attention to social and environmental issues and explore diverse historical perspectives.
