About this Event
Celebrate Black history on a musical and cultural heritage tour of DC's U Street Corridor.
The Washington D.C. Fellowship community is delighted to invite you to an immersive walking tour with author, and D.C. historian, Brianna A. Thomas from Black Broadway Washington, D.C.
What you can expect?
With the use of community storytelling and engaging visuals, we will stroll through the Greater U Street area once known as Black Broadway. During this experience you will visit the area's oldest landmarks, view one of a kind murals, meet notable history makers, sightsee 100-year old theaters, and learn about the Jazz and Cultural Renaissance that paved the way for today's most famous African American successes, educators, musicians, talents, and heroes. Keep an eye out for some hidden gems along the way!

In addition to events hosted by regional hubs, RSA US hosts Virtual Salons which usually occur on the third Thursday of each month; they aim to create open dialogue and a space for RSA US Fellows to connect across geography over the issues of our times. Join a Salon to get to know other RSA US Fellows and our interests, passions, and perspectives. Salons are supported through the moderation of a volunteer to ensure that a diversity of voices are heard. We invite all Fellows to join this discussion to deepen the ways we can connect with each other across the country!
