For over five decades, Washington, D.C. photographer Rick Reinhard has captured powerful images of the city’s residents at work, at home, and in their neighborhoods. His large body of work, now in the museum’s collection, earned him a designation as “the go-to chronicler of D.C.’s Latino and activist communities.” Join us for a conversation with Mr. Reinhard about the role of photography in documenting historic moments, inspiring reflection, and sparking change.
