In the back yard of the Nation’s Capitol, just east of the Anacostia River, there exists a community that has been long plagued by crime, poverty and disenfranchisement. “East of the River,” the tag name for this section of Southeast, Washington, D.C., is a label that has become synonymous with an attitude of feisty underdog pride.
God’s dream for us is not simply peace of mind, but peace on earth.
