Lincoln Heights - Deanwood Neighorhood Dream Walk
I spent the morning walking through the Lincoln Heights Dwellings (DC Housing Authority) and other neighborhoods close-by with a group of friends dreaming about how to serve DC's needy neighborhoods. Our group definitely looked a little out of place as we walked the neighborhoods, but I was filled with excitement as I thought about how we could bless these neighborhoods by reaching out and showing God's love through acts of compassion.
We learned about Suburban Gardens, an amusement park for African Americans who were not allowed entry into Glen Echo Park in Montgomery County, MD. The park was in existence from 1921 to 1940, and the Merritt Middle School building sits on part of the grounds of the long-gone amusement park.
