Lecture Community Development in Old Anacostia: Past Realities and
Future Ideas: East of the River Forum
Called one of the 10 most endangered places in Washington, D.C., by the D.C. Preservation League, the Anacostia Historic District is also one of Washington's earliest suburbs incorporated in 1854. This panel discussion explores the efforts to preserve this very unique community, the forces that have affected that effort, and the possibilities of developing quality community assets. Panelists include Doran McGrath (professor emeritus, GW University) and Iris Miller (professor, school of architecture and planning, Catholic University) with moderator Yavocka Young (Main Street Anacostia).
