Description
The site of Barry Farm Dwellings, from its establishment as a freedmen’s village in 1867, through its development as public housing, tells a story of housing struggles for African Americans for over 150 years. It is a story of the resilience of the residents who, in spite of the effects of racial segregation, municipal neglect, and invasive welfare policies, built a rich and close-knit community.
