Joe Lapp shares the history of Kenilworth, a northeast Washington, DC, community, with a special focus on the African American history of
Douglas Street and Kenilworth Courts. Lapp's discussion is based on his collection of oral history interviews, news articles, photographs, and personal stories. Named after a castle in England, Kenilworth began as a trolley suburb and has grown with farms, private homes, churches, government-funded housing complexes, and an aquatic garden.
