Year of the Anacostia River

100 years ago, the Anacostia River corridor in Washington, DC and Maryland was preserved as park land by Congress on August 31, 1918. To celebrate the Year of the Anacostia and #MakeWaves, I’m reposting my poetry video of “Kingman Island, Anacostia Watershed” made in collaboration with Aqua4.
