The name Adams Morgan is from the names of two formerly segregated area elementary schools—the older, all-black Thomas P. Morgan Elementary School and the all-white John Quincy Adams Elementary School, which merged in 1955 following desegregation. https://t.co/A6kw9yTf8d

Check out this rare map of the D.C. area from 1894 and see the Ulysses Grant Memorial Bridge, which was never built. Plus, see the source from the National Archives.

You're not the only one "stymied by career officials" @StateDept - @AmandaMilius. Maybe don't refer to them as "nobodies" and focus on building relationships to try and affect long-term positive change.
