Barry Farm: Community, Land and Justice Film Screening & Talkback - Feb 2nd MLK Library 7pm

MLK Library | Feb 2, 7 PM

DC Public Library is hosting a special screening of the documentary "Barry Farm: Community, Land, and Justice" to celebrate Black History Month, featuring a talkback with the creators and the community.

This screening and talkback presents a local example of a community that consistently persisted in the face of insurmountable obstacles and always created and found home in place and one another.

Following the film screening of Barry Farm: Community, Land, and Justice there will be panel discussion on the history of liberation, independence and struggle at Barry Farm. The central focus of our exhibit is to enlighten residents of the District regarding the significance of the history and the impact of trailblazers that came from a neighborhood that has been neglected and held in ill regard since the 1960s.
