Restore the People's River
The 40 minute film, "Anacostia: Restoring the People's River," produced by the Anacostia Watershed Society, explores the river's rich cultural history and the inspiring efforts of local people to make the river a clean centerpiece of the community, suitable for swimming and fishing.
Come to a screening, followed by a discussion focusing on women's roles in the restoration of the Anacostia River and insight into the making of this film.
Guest speakers are: James Connolly, Executive Director, Anacostia Watershed Society; Dianne Dale, Anacostia community historian and President, Frederick Douglass Gardens, Inc.; and Gayle Hazelwood, Superintendent, National Capital Parks East. Admission is free.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
