Long ago, leaders picked a spot on the big Potomac River to make the new capital. They drew a map and put big white buildings there. Because of their choices, some people got jobs in the new city. But some people were left out and not given the same chances. Many Black people were not free and could not do the same things as white people. This made parts of the city fair for some and not fair for others.
The water and land also changed how the city grew. Boats on the river brought things to sell and gave people work. Some parts were swampy or hilly, so people chose where to build houses and roads. The city was near places where slavery was common, so that changed who lived there and who had power. All these things helped make the city feel special, but they also kept some people apart.
