July 28

From Kealea, age 15

My experience with IWWL has been great. I've learned so much from U Street's history and how to work with a team. I feel I'm a better photographer, group participant, and all-around Washingtonian. I know so much more about U Street and the surrounding area. I get a hands-on approach that taught me more than a simple textbook would. To be able to hear peoples' stories then document and preserve them gave me such a new take on things. Everything and everyone has a story, we just need to listen and preserve it with our own stories, writings and artwork.
