The Columbia Pike Documentary Project is a multi-disciplinary history of Columbia Pike in Arlington, VA, one of Americas most-ethnically diverse communities. Paula Endo, Lloyd Wolf, Mimi Xang Ho, Duy Tran, Aleksandra Lagkueva, Lara Ajami, and other team members have been using photography and oral history to document life along the Pike. The project is sponsored by the Columbia Pike Revitalization Organization Contact: Lloyd Wolf- lloydwolf@lloydwolf.com or www.pikedoc.org
The local Bangladeshi-American cultural organization, Prio Bangla, celebrated the holiday of International Mother Language Day at Kenmore Middle School, which draws its student body largely from along Columbia Pike. It's an occasion of remembrance and liberation recognizing their fight for independence and the right to use their mother tongue.
Many thanks to Pryalal Karmakar and the rest of the volunteers and members of Prio Bangla.
