“Go-Go on the Rooftop Returns to DC Public Library”

By Prince Of Petworth

From DCPL:

“In celebration of Black Music Month, Go-Go on the Rooftop returns to the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library. These free Sunday concerts will feature a lineup of established and upcoming Go-Go musicians.

Founded in 2012, the Go-Go Archive was established by the DC Public Library to collect, preserve, and provide access to materials documenting Go-Go music, Washington, D.C.’s official sound. It includes photographs, books, recordings, and other ephemera; oral history interviews and research materials; and archived tweets from the #dontmutedc movement. The archive activates the collection through educational initiatives and cultural events. Each concert will be recorded and added to the Go-Go Archive, furthering its mission to preserve and promote Go-Go music.

Thanks to E. for sending: “They hit Eckington hard. This is one of three I saw. Looks like some people couldn’t get out of the way for street sweeping. Wonder how that works cause the tow truck was making its sweep.”
