Photos of Columbia Heights After ’68 Riots

Here is a series of amazing photos that we came across on Flickr showing the 1968 riots in D.C. We’ve posted some stuff on the riots in the past, like this film clip, and these photos.

Here is a photo showing the Tivoli Theatre after the riots.

This is the building across from the Tivoli Theatre.

You’re looking down 14th St. in this photo, standing on the west side of the street.

This is 14th and Kenyon, the epicenter of the Columbia Heights renaissance today.

Below is a shot of the building on the northwest corner of 14th and Columbia, where the 7-Eleven is today.

We have a lot of cool stuff posted about Columbia Heights. Make sure you check them out, especially this one.

You have to check out this guy’s Flickr album from the riots. They’re really incredible. He also has a ton of amazing old photos that you should check out.
