Over the past half-century, one of America‘s oldest industries - textiles and apparel - has seen a near-total collapse, commensurate with the rapid rise of global trade in this sector. Thanks to global trade, deindustrialization, and automation, current employment in the domestic industry is less than one-tenth of its high levels in the 1970s. Drawing from his award-winning work, Fraying Fabric: How Trade Policy and Industrial Decline Transformed America (University of Illinois Press, 2022), historian James Benton (Georgetown University) will explain the root causes behind this industry‘s disappearance, which has contributed significantly to the national political and economic shifts of the last 50 years. The discussion will include examples of contemporary efforts to sustain this historic industry, even as it faces new threats of disruption from tariffs and global "fast fashion" sellers like Temu and Shein. James C. Benton is director of the Race and Economic Empowerment Project at the Kalmanovitz Initiative for Labor and the Working Poor at Georgetown University. This position links KI and Georgetown students with community activists and organizations combating inequality in Washington, D.C. His community work includes serving on the board of directors of DC Jobs with Justice. He is a co-designer of Creating an Equitable City, a series of experiential learning courses taught at Georgetown’s Capitol Applied Learning Lab focusing on inequality in Washington. He is also the author of Fraying Fabric, which traces U.S. trade policy and political shifts in the postwar era amid the decline of the American textile and apparel industries. Host Village: Northwest Neighbors Village Limited to 100. Registration is required by April 1st. Zoom link will be sent to registrants the day before.

Join in to discuss what you are working on or perhaps be encouraged to start a project. Open to all BMAV members. The first week of the month we meet at the Battery Park Clubhouse.

Speaker: Gary Thompson of NNV Our neighborhoods were once filled with thousands of Union troops in and around the Civil War Defenses of Washington, and for a few days in July 11-12, 1864, attacking Rebel troops as well. This presentation, rich with maps and photos, will explain what happened here during the Civil War, with a particular focus on the stretch of fortifications from Fort Reno over to Fort Totten. Gary Thompson is a co-founder and the current President of the non-profit Alliance to Preserve the Civil War Defenses of Washington. He is an avid student of the defenses, a dynamic speaker on the topic, and also a reenactor of Maj. Gen. Lew Wallace, “Savior of Washington” from the Battle of Monocacy. Gary has lived in Chevy Chase DC for over 30 years, 8 years on the ANC, and when he doesn’t have his nose in a Civil War history book, either practices law or runs in Rock Creek Park. Gary is also Chair of the DC Board of Elections.

In 2022, Gary Windham fulfilled a lifelong goal of hiking the entire 2,200-mile-long Appalachian Trail. In his presentation, Gary will highlight the planning and effort that went into the challenge, along with trail stories, anecdotes, and lessons learned. He‘ll include photos of people and places along the way and some comments about what it was like to spend six months, usually completely alone in the woods in freezing and scorching conditions, snow, ice and rainstorms, eating out of a camp pot and sleeping on the ground. While he says the hike wasn‘t always fun, he assures us that this presentation will be! Gary Windam claims that he is not a spy, but after working for the National Security Agency for 42 years, some people wonder. Gary is a 72-year-old retiree from a 42-year career as an Electrical Engineer in the US Department of Defense. He spent fourteen years building integrated circuits for the NSA. In 1999, he switched gears and was assigned to a technical liaison assignment near Munich, Germany. He was later assigned to the Pentagon in Information Assurance, and then to Ft. Meade to work in Signals Intelligence. He finished his career as a Technical Director leveraging and promoting biometric technology to help 17 government agencies find foreign terrorists. Since retiring in 2016, he spends his time exercising, hiking, biking and motorcycling, but more importantly, trying to keep his wife, Roberta sane as she serves as the Carroll County Administrator.

Naturalist Marney Bruce will lead a walk at this 130-acre park which used to be a golf course! Please meet at the far end of the parking lot, at 10 am, closest to the entrance to the park. Paths in the park are paved, and it‘s a mostly easy walk, but the area is hilly in parts. Please dress for the weather, bring water to drink, and bring a walking stick or hiking poles for use, as needed, on the hills. This walk is hosted and organized by the Potomac Community Village Green Group. The Redgate golf course was closed by the city of Rockville in 2018 and is now a public park. Since 2018, the area has grown wild, with additions such as a Monarch butterfly way-station, planting of many native plants, and the continuation of a habitat that supports hundreds of bird species. It‘s beautiful at all times of the year, with early spring expected to be a wonderful time for us to visit. Marney will also share the story of how what was once a golf course became a park, when the local community demanded that the area not be developed. Here‘s a link to a recent documentary film, called Bird Walk," which tells part of that story. Reservations are required, no later than Sunday, April 6, at 6 pm, so we know how many people to expect. https://pcv.helpfulvillage.com/events/1929-nature-walk,-at-redgate-park When you register, please leave your cell phone number so we are able to reach you on Monday morning if there is an unexpected change in plans.
