Synopsis
Take a left off of the Anacostia Freeway on to Firth Sterling Ave in Washington, DC - what do you see? You see empty fields. You see shiny new buildings just breaking ground. Construction equipment. Sweeping views of the capital. As one community member states in this film, if you are a developer, you see a gold mine. But these empty fields hold powerful memories. Enslaved people once worked this land. Later, during Reconstruction, the formerly enslaved purchased it, and built one of DC's first thriving Black communities.
