Truth and Reconciliation in Chevy Chase
Clip: Season 2 Episode 12 | 3m 31sVideo has Closed Captions
Chevy Chase D.C. pushes for recognition of Black families who were displaced in 1928.
For almost a century, descendants of freed slave Captain George Pointer and Elizabeth Townsend owned land in the area that became Chevy Chase, D.C. In 1928, their property was seized by eminent domain to build an elementary school and park for white children. In 2018, Historic Chevy Chase DC worked with Pointer family descendants to rename the park in honor of the site's African American history.
