The city will begin construction on the first Barry Farm redevelopment project this September.

“Barry Farm: Community, Land and Justice in Washington, DC,” premiering free this weekend, comes at a critical point for the Ward 8 neighborhood.

The historic landmark designation encompasses five buildings. The residents had originally pushed for it to cover 32 buildings.

“We are a city known for monuments and memorials—but it’s the humble places like Barry Farm that speak to the stories of Washingtonians who shaped this city.”

The redevelopment of Barry Farm was delayed a year ago when the D.C. Court of Appeals sided with the Barry Farm Tenants and Allies Association after finding the redevelopment would cause hardship and displacement.

Police haven’t released a description of the suspect and are asking for the public’s help.

Residents say the city has failed to maintain the public housing project, has given no assurance that they can move back to the neighborhood after renovations, and is discriminating against larger families.

Over 78 percent of D.C.’s public housing units need significant improvements.

Through a year-long sociology class, the seniors of E.L. Haynes learn about the state of race and race relations, in D.C. and around the country.

Good morning, Washington. Expect beautiful autumn weather today, with plenty of sunshine and cool temperatures. With winter’s chill lurking just over the horizon, we’re compelled to enjoy these fleeting mild days.
