Also under things that have made me happy this week, my grant for the DC Humanities Council’s DC Community Heritage Project grant, was approved. This is the first grant proposal, and wholly molly it was approved. So within 120 days I plan to put up all that dang census data from 1880-1940 for every man woman and child in the Truxton area captured by the US Census, and make it available to everybody. Once the grant kicks in I’ll be looking for volunteers to donate a few hours to make up for weaknesses in my own skillset (graphics, editing, etc). So for the next few months I’ll be busy with Truxtoncircle.org, where the data will be placed. I want to give a huge thank you to North Capitol Main Streets, Inc for sponsoring me and working with me. Also thanks to Geovani Bonilla of the Bates Area Civic Association for his support.
