Francwa Sims, of the Anacostia Diaries, still offers his searing unfiltered bias and fresh analysis of the everyday realities of life in the Nation’s Capital, as an analysis of the political contradictions of American society. He describes his struggles with homelessness, unemployment, and racism in Washington, D.C.
Interspersed with snapshots from his daily life are Sims’s critique and analyses of everything from the elusive workings of the U.S. Government to his local D.C. Government, from the coverage provided by the “mainstream” American media and by the former D.C. Independent Media Center that he was associated with. Here again, he focuses especially on the fate of the poor minorities of the city, whose rights and freedoms have fallen victim—from the impact of 9-11 and the War on Terrorism and gentrification even in the Age of Obama.
