Barry Farm: Community, Land & Justice in Washington, DC

The empty fields of Barry Farm hold powerful memories of enslaved people to one of DC’s first thriving Black communities, until 2018, when the final community members were removed to make way for redevelopment. Told by the generations of residents, as well as DC’s leading historians, artists, musicians and analysts, this story tells of a community that risks being erased from the map.
