Ils se réunisaient chaque mois pour discuter de sujets importants de la journée (le «littéraire») et de la «chasse» (alias jouer au poker). BLAHC a survécu jusqu'à aujourd'hui, mais maintenant il est peut-être menacé. English ​This oral history film honors the experience of 5 members of the Brookland Literary and Hunting Club (a.k.a. BLAHC), a poker and social club founded in Washington, DC in 1942 by 9 accomplished men from the Brookland neighborhood in the district — doctors, lawyers, scientists, university presidents — many with Howard University affiliations. They gathered monthly to discuss important topics of the day (the “literary”) and “hunt” (aka play poker). BLAHC has survived until today, but now it may be reaching it's end.
