Join us for a special event to celebrate the exhibit 'Barry Farm: Uplifting a Living History, Ensuring a Just Future,' on view at the MLK Library.
Join Empower DC and for a screening of a brand-new sequel to the 2023 Barry Farm documentary which brings the story of Black-led struggle for land and housing into the present. After the 25-minute screening, attendees will discuss the documentary themes in small groups. At the end of the session, we’ll regroup for a program where we can honor the residents of Barry Farm for their contributions to community and the city.
This new film, Barry Farm: A Conversation Across Generations asks viewers: what makes a community? Through intergenerational interviews between members of Campbell AME Church and Roosevelt High School students, this short film is a reflection on love, memory, displacement, and the urgent need to preserve community voices.
This event is presented in conjunction with the exhibit Barry Farm: Uplifting a Living History, Ensuring a Just Future, on view at the MLK Library.
