Eastern Market Metro – where whites exit

Liz Pomper
Washington, DC

My card is about the astonishing racial divide that persists in Washington DC. Take a blue or orange line subway from downtown towards Largo/New Carrolton. Watch what happens at Eastern Market: the vast majority, if not all, of the white people get off. I noticed this shortly after moving to the neighborhood five years ago, as I myself, a white person, got off the train there.
