The Most Beautiful Deaths in the World

The Most Beautiful Deaths in the World

As a deadly civil war threatened to tear El Salvador apart in the 1980s, many families fled and made Washington, DC their new home. Columbia Road in Adams Morgan became a hotspot for Salvadoran resettlement and spread to nearby Mount Pleasant. But the legacy of violence remained inescapable, forcing Salvadorans to figure out a new way forward.
