Will McKinley III is a videographer/editor based out of Washington, D.C. He attended Morgan State University in Baltimore, MD with a concentration in TV Production. Below is a link to the first segment that he and his peeps put together for a new current affairs magazine television show about Washington, DC, called Metropolis: The District. Don’t be thrown by the message that says you can’t view the video here. Click on the box and it will take you straight to Vimeo.

The video features the famous Goodman League and the current redevelopment plans for the neighborhood of Barry Farm. Learn who is responsible for the Goodman League’s rise to prominence. Affordable housing organizer Schyla Pondexter-Moore explains why traditional public housing is important to the fabric of Washington,DC. This is the kind of in-depth journalism that I’d love to see on DC’s local television stations. Too often the only reason television news producers head out to Barry Farms is for crime. Here’s hoping McKinley and his crew get funding for more of this excellent work!
