On this show, voices of residents of public housing in DC who are fighting--like many urban poor and working class people around the country--displacement, gentrification and the loss of communities where some have lived for generations. We caught the premiere of a community theater presentation "On My Mind/In My Heart: Voices of Women in Public Housing," which will be touring around Washington, DC in December. Also, a new video produced by the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights, a movie in the works about the radical abolitionist John Brown and a report about the opening of the pricey DC Wharf project on the waterfront in Southwest DC.
