This one-hour historical film explores Washington, D.C.’s long struggle for self-government and voting rights through the experiences of its citizens. Since 1801, residents have faced disenfranchisement. Despite efforts—such as biracial democracy during the Civil War and activism by figures like Frederick Douglass and civil rights leaders—D.C.'s fight for representation continues.
