Join us on a PRIDE filled event! U Street Corridor was known as "Black Broadway" in its heyday of the early 20th Century. From the Prohibition Era to the Civil Rights Movement, it was also the center for social justice and fringe movements that fought to bring more opportunity for marginalized groups, including an active Queer community that was associated with the Harlem Renaissance, the Pansy Craze, underground crime worlds, and the wide world of entertainment. This 1.5 hour walking tour begins at Howard Theater and ends at Thurst Lounge, DC's first queer black-owned bar. A portion of proceeds goes to benefit the Rainbow History Project, whose mission is to collect, preserve and promote the history and culture of the LGBTQ community in metropolitan Washington, D.C.
