n the Central District, the Liberty Bank Building stood as a testament to the resilience of a community facing redlining and racist disinvestment.

Representatives from AfricatownByrd Barr PlaceCapitol Hill Housing, and the original Liberty Bank will share their inspiration for the project that they developed in partnership with the Black Community Impact Alliance. Learn about the challenges and successes of this model of large-scale civic collaboration.
