About this Event

Journey through one of Washington, D.C.'s most historical and unique neighborhoods on a guided walking tour led by local journalist and author of Black Broadway in Washington, D.C., Briana Thomas. 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!

Also, a great way to celebrate DC Emancipation Day the weekend of April 14-16. The tour group will stop at the African American Civil War Memorial.
