Video Title
Brookland in “A Right to the City” Exhibition at the Smithsonian Anacostia Community Museum
Description
Excerpts from oral history interviews about the Brookland neighborhood of Washington, DC that appear in the Smithsonian Anacostia Community Museum’s exhibition, “A Right to the City” (April 21, 2018-April 20, 2020). In a moment of rapid population growth and mounting tensions over development, “A Right to the City” explores the history of neighborhood change and civic engagement in the nation’s capital by looking at the dynamic histories of six Washington, D.C., neighborhoods: Adams Morgan, Anacostia, Brookland, Chinatown, Shaw and Southwest. The exhibition tells the story of these communities through the eyes of the Washingtonians who have helped shape these neighborhoods in extraordinary ways. They have used their collective community power to fight for quality public education, healthy and green urban spaces, equitable development and transportation, and a truly democratic approach to city planning. MORE INFORMATION: http://www.anacostia.si.edu/Exhibitions/Details/A-Right-to-the-City-6222 Interviewees include: - John Feeley Jr., a longtime Brookland resident, neighborhood advocate, and ANC Commissioner - Susan Abbott, daughter of Sammie Abbott who was a major anti-freeway organizer and the co-founder of the Emergency Committee on the Transportation Crisis (ECTC)
