Art and Soul of Black BroadwaY

Black HISTORY on Pennsylvania Avenue

Virtually “walk” the Avenue and learn about the emancipation of enslaved DC residents, a grand march for the women's vote, the infamous Snow Riot, the evolution of Home Rule, local DC history, and much more.

Pennsylvania Avenue is one of DC’s most recognizable thoroughfares. It has been home to inaugural parades, mass protests, street festivals, and storied institutional buildings. These are some of the untold stories of downtown Washington, with a focus on the Black history of DC and the country as a whole.

Through my massive collection of DC photographs, see key sites along the Avenue during this online experience. Sites include Old City Hall, the National Council of Negro Women, National Archives, FDR Memorial, Newspaper Row, Freedom Plaza, the World War I Memorial, and more. Duration: 60 minutes.

The great Migration

The Great Migration was a widespread migration of African Americans from the rural south to the North, Midwest, and West. This resettlement occurred over most of the 20th century, from 1910 until about 1970.

A movement of six million people was certain to remake cities and entire regions across the U.S. The Great Migration still shapes African American culture to this day, even as some argue that we have entered a “New Great Migration” in the 2020s.

In this session, learn the rationale behind millions of Black Americans’ move North and West, the impact on the country, and the legacy of this mass movement. We will highlight everyday peoples as well as more widely known historical figures, and use Washington, DC’s Black Broadway to visualize the real life implications of the Great Migration in one neighborhood. Duration: 60 minutes. Online experiences are hosted on Zoom. Internet access is required.

JOURNEY To juneteenth: The first emancipation

Journey to Juneteenth chronicles the four years between the first Presidential emancipation of enslaved peoples –here in Washington, DC– to the breaking of the final vestiges of Confederate control in Texas. When Union troops reached Galveston, Texas in June 1865, the enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation was fulfilled. That day became a celebration and is known as Juneteenth.

The end of slavery in the United States marked a second independence; a “new birth of freedom” for four million formerly enslaved people across the nation. This program links emancipation to Juneteenth by way of the United States Colored Troops and stories from DC that helped shape the entire nation. This program shares key elements of both the Black Broadway and Pennsylvania Ave experiences. Duration: 60 minutes. Online experiences are hosted on Zoom. Internet access is required.
