Beyond the headlines and the numbers: Voices from Anacostia High School
By Christina Charlery and Joseph Hornig
Anacostia is a historic neighborhood in Southeast Washington, D.C., and is located east of the Anacostia River, which the area is named after.
According to the 2000 Census, 92 percent of the neighborhood’s residents are African American. Those outside Southeast D.C. often see a dire public image from local-news headlines:
Body found floating in Anacostia River.
Students arrested after cafeteria brawl.
High school fight moves to city streets.
SE apartment building locked down after fatal shooting.
To local media and many outsiders, the name Anacostia has become synonymous with negativity, particularly crime.
