Anacostia is a rapidly gentrifying suburb in Washington DC, and as Anacostia changes, so does the language. How do the original Black residents use language to establish their cred? What about the language of the new Black gentrifiers?
Dr Jessi Grieser has been listening. She's the author of The Black Side of the River, and she joins Daniel for a chat.
