Barry Farm: Community, Land and Justice in Washington DC
The DC Legacy Project: Barry Farm-Hillsdale is dedicated to uplifting the Black-led struggle for land and housing in DC at an important site of this sacred struggle—the five remaining buildings of Barry Farm Dwellings. In 2020, the site was designated a historic landmark.
By undertaking research, creating art, hosting public programs, and engaging former Barry Farm-Hillsdale residents and their descendants in planning and advocacy, we will secure the Barry Farm historic landmark as a commemorative community space honoring the generations of people who have lived in and were displaced from this area. The site is also envisioned as a space for community organizing, education, small business incubation and other activities that support Black DC residents impacted by gentrification and dispossession.
