Formerly incarcerated Bernard Seaborn views his photo “Kelso,” with Karen Ruckman, who started the Lorton Prison photography program. Seaborn’s work is now featured in the “Inside Out: Dignity and the Art of Seeing" until Mar. 5 at the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities, located at Eye Street Gallery in Washington, D.C. (Brenda C. Siler/The Washington Informer)

“The story “Inside Out,” the photography program at Lorton, was really heartwarming. That is truly amazing that it took place so long ago.”

– Angela Williams (In reference to the story “Inside Out: A View of Hope from Incarceration”)

Sterling Coverage

“Awesome coverage! Rev. Hagler gave us the highest inspiration — and perspiration! I count on The Washington Informer as a beacon of the Black press and of community journalism at its best! Let us support this important institution in every way.

– Brigette Rouson (In reference to the story “Rev. Graylan Scott Hagler, D.C. Pastor, Activist and Prophetic Voice for Justice, Dies”)

Job to Do

“Ward 1 longtime resident, homeowner, and now very engaged landlord living in Arlington here. We’d all like to change the world, dethrone Trump, end poverty and homelessness, and fight for marginalized populations, but I’m looking for a candidate that will do the job they were elected to do. If they’d like to do the rest, then Elanor Holmes Norton’s seat is open. Rat abatement, trash collection, public safety, graffiti removal, code enforcement, festivals, promoting volunteer events, and so on.”

– Shai Segall (In reference to the story “In Ward 1 D.C. Council Race, the Fight Continues for Affordability and Responsive Government”)
