Lecture:
Metro's Many Creators
Monday, May 22
6:30–8:00 pm
A rapid transit system is not the creation of a single individual, agency,
or profession, but a collaboration among planners, engineers, architects,
and citizens. Zachary M. Schrag, assistant professor of history at George
Mason University, will present some of the interactions and debates that
resulted in the Metro system we know today.

After the lecture, he will sign copies of his new book The Great Society
Subway: A History of the Washington Metro (Johns Hopkins University
Press)--copies available for purchase in the NBM store. •1.5 CEU
$10 Museum members and students; $15 Nonmembers. Registration required.
