Team members Paula Endo\, Lloyd Wolf\, Mimi Xang Ho\, Duy Tran\, Aleksandra Lagkueva\, Lara Ajami\, Sushmita Mazumdar\, and Moises Gomez have been using photography and oral history to document life along the Pike. The project is sponsored by the Columbia Pike Revitalization Organization. \nThe record CPDP has created of this rich melting pot has been undertaken in a thorough\, insightful\, and aesthetically powerful way. Its meaning to the community has continued to grow as this section of Arlington County gentrifies and redevelops. Older established ways of life are still in place\, alongside many new citizens from every continent. Buildings and businesses from earlier eras coexist with new development in relative harmony\, much as the people do. \nLloyd Wolf will speak about this unique project in Arlington\, which reflects a “united nations” of cultures here in our county.

He has worked with many clients\, including National Geographic Explorer\, the Smithsonian\, Vogue\, the U.S. Holocaust Museum\, and The Washington Post Magazine. He has worked on documentary projects regarding drug rehabilitation in prisons\, the Holocaust\, traditional African American forms of worship\, Jewish roots in Europe and Israel\, and Ethiopian refugees. \nMr. Wolf has taught at Northern Virginia Community College\, George Mason University\, Arlington Public Schools\, and the Alternative Learning Center at American University. He is a member of the Society for Photographic Education and the US House and Senate Press Photographer’s Gallery.

SUMMARY:United States Colored Troops at Camp Casey\, 1863-1865
DESCRIPTION:During the Civil War Camp Casey on Arlington Heights saw the organization of the Second and Twenty-Third United States Colored Troops – the only regiments raised in Arlington County during the conflict. Although the camp and the regiments went unmentioned in the history of Arlington published during the US bicentennial\, they played an important role in the USCT’s decisive contribution to the nation’s victory over the rebel states. \nThis presentation will survey the full history of Camp Casey\, from the enlistment of the two regiments\, through the Camp’s role as a “Recruiting Rendezvous” for replacements to USCT units on the Richmond-Petersburg front\, to the service of its garrison battalion in the campaign that ended at Appomattox. By the time the shooting stopped Camp Casey had\, in little less than two years\, put some 6\,000 soldiers into the ranks of the US Army\, an accomplishment long overlooked but not to be forgotten. (Photo: Sgt. Nimrod Burk\, 23rd USCT) \nOur speaker\, Michael Schaffner is reenactor in Company B\, 54th Massachusetts (the “Glory” regiment). He was the keynote speaker at the rededication of Arlington’s Fort Ethan Allen in 2014\, has given presentations to Civil War Round Tables\, the Museum of Civil War Medicine\, and the Arlington Sesquicentennial Committee commemorating the Civil War and he has conducted battlefield tours for military personnel from the Embassy of Canada. In 2020\, he participated in a panel discussion at an AHS event with fellow reenactors in the 54th Massachusetts\, Edward W. Gannt and Ben Hawley. He has also spoken to an AHS audience about the rigors of Civil War red tape and the Civil War Convalescent Camp in what is now Arlington. He is currently researching a book on the USCT  and Camp Casey. \nAttend via Zoom or In-Person\nPREREGISTER FOR ZOOM ACCESS. You can attend this event on Zoom or in-person on the Marymount University Main Campus.  If you want to attend this event virtually\, please click HERE to register.
