It seems like every other day there’s a new, hip spot opening up in the alleys near Union Market. But the long and bizarre history of DC’s alleys dovetails with the city's complex relationship with race and class and power. Historian Kim Prothro Williams has literally written the book on DC’s alleys and she joined us in April to share how the history of Washington is all about the streets behind the streets.
