About this event

Join the DC Public Library, DC Legacy Project and Teaching for Change for a screening of the 50-minute documentary film Barry Farm: Community, Land and Justice in Washington DC, followed by a go-go show with the Junkyard Band! Doors open at 1:00PM for the 1:30PM screening.

This 50-minute documentary chronicles the history of a Southeast DC neighborhood and its residents. From formerly enslaved people who purchased land here in the 1860s to the rise of Go-Go music in the 1980s — Barry Farm: Community, Land, and Justice in DC tells a story of community, racial segregation, displacement, and resistance.

This event will take place in conjunction with the National Women’s History Museum’s exhibit on the first floor of MLK Library, We Who Believe in Freedom: Black Feminist DC, which we invite you to visit. The library will be open from 1:00PM to 5:00PM.
