Fototapeta Ben's Chili Bowl
PODCZAS GDY WIĘKSZOŚĆ ODWIEDZAJĄCYCH ZBIERA SIĘ DO Ben’s Chili Bowl na U Street, by kupić charakterystyczną kiełbasę na wpół dymną, ukochany punkt orientacyjny w Waszyngtonie szczyci się również spektakularnym muralem upamiętniającym wybitnych czarnoskórych Amerykanów. Mural był wielokrotnie zmieniany, odkąd pojawił się w 2012 roku, a wcześniej przedstawiał dużego, uśmiechniętego Billa Cosby'ego, Baracka Obamę, Donniego Simpsona i Chucka Browna. Ta część muralu została usunięta po ujawnieniu zarzutów wobec Cosby'ego, który był częstym gościem Ben's Chili Bowl. Przez krótki okres w 2017 roku mural przedstawiał hołd dla Washington Wizards przed play-offami NBA. Później, w 2017 roku, lokalny artysta Aniekan Udofia namalował mural, który stoi tam do dziś.

Muzeum Pamięci Afroamerykanów Wojny Secesyjnej
Pierwszy pomnik poświęcony wyłącznie Czarnym żołnierzom, którzy walczyli za Unię. KIEDY PAŃSTWA REBELIJNE ODMÓWIŁY ponownego przyłączenia się do Unii na początku wojny secesyjnej, prezydent Abraham Lincoln wydał Proklamację Emancypacji i stworzył szereg pułków w armii i marynarce Unii wypełnionych czarnymi żołnierzami. Ten pomnik w Waszyngtonie upamiętnia te jednostki, które spotkały się ze szczególną okrucieństwem ze strony przeciwnej armii i dyskryminacją ze strony własnej. Ponad 200 000 czarnoskórych Amerykanów wypełniło 175 pułków Kolorowych Oddziałów Stanów Zjednoczonych (USCT), stanowiących około jednej dziesiątej sił Unii. To w dużej mierze dzięki uporowi społeczności czarnoskórych Amerykanów zmieniła się polityka Unii dotycząca służby wojskowej Czarnych. Ostatecznie 180 000 czarnych żołnierzy, którzy służyli, w tym 98 500 byłych niewolników, zapewniło armii Unii kluczową służbę. Ich imiona i imiona ich białych są wyryte na Ścianie Honoru.

Teatr Howarda
Przez dziesięciolecia czarne gwiazdy muzyki występowały w tym historycznym centrum muzyki i sztuki. TEATR HOWARDA, ZNANY JAKO pierwszy czarny teatr w Ameryce, został założony w 1910 roku w dzielnicy Shaw w Waszyngtonie, która otacza Uniwersytet Howarda. Został założony, aby stworzyć przestrzeń do rozrywki dla czarnych mężczyzn i kobiet, ponieważ w tamtym czasie nie mieli wstępu do innych miejsc w mieście. Jego początek był rewolucyjny i przyciągnął wielu czarnych muzyków, od Louisa Armstronga po Kendricka Lamara. Zanim Howard Theatre zyskał renomę w całym kraju, był lokalnie znany z amatorskich imprez w stylu open mic i konkursów w stylu bitwy zespołów. Przed erą jazzu w Chicago i Harlem Renaissance Howard Theatre był sercem muzycznej eksploracji.

U Street

Ben's Chili Bowl Mural
WHILE MOST VISITORS FLOCK TO Ben’s Chili Bowl on U Street for its signature half-smoke sausage, the beloved Washington, D.C., landmark also boasts a spectacular mural that celebrates notable Black Americans. The mural has been changed multiple times since it appeared in 2012, and previously featured a large, smiling Bill Cosby, Barack Obama, Donnie Simpson, and Chuck Brown. That portion of the mural was removed after allegations against Cosby, who was a famous frequent visitor to Ben’s Chili Bowl, came to light. For a short period of time in 2017, the mural featured a tribute to the Washington Wizards in time for the NBA playoffs. Then, later in 2017, local artist Aniekan Udofia painted the mural that stands there today.

African American Civil War Memorial Museum
The first memorial dedicated solely to the Black troops who fought for the Union. WHEN THE REBEL STATES REFUSED to rejoin the Union early in the American Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation and created a number of regiments in the Union Army and Navy filled with Black soldiers. This memorial in Washington, D. C. honors those units, who faced particular viciousness from the opposing army and discrimination from within their own. More than 200,000 Black Americans filled the 175 regiments of the United States Colored Troops (USCT), comprising approximately one-tenth of the Union’s forces. It was largely through the persistence of the Black American community that Union policy on Black military service changed. Eventually, the 180,000 Black soldiers who served, including the 98,500 formerly enslaved men, provided a crucial service to the Union Army. Their names, and those of their white are inscribed on the Wall of Honor.

Howard Theatre
Throughout the decades, Black music stars have performed at this historic hub for music and the arts. THE HOWARD THEATRE, KNOWN AS the first Black theater in America, was founded in 1910 in the Shaw neighborhood of Washington, D.C., which surrounds Howard University. It was founded to create a space for Black men and women to be entertained since they weren’t allowed into the other venues in the city at the time. Its inception was revolutionary and would go on to attract a range of Black musicians from Louis Armstrong to Kendrick Lamar. Before the Howard Theatre gained its national reputation, it was known locally for its amateur open-mic style events and its battle of the band style contests. Prior to the Chicago jazz era and the Harlem Renaissance, the Howard Theatre was at the heart of musical exploration.

The tour was canceled hours before the scheduled time. I was really looking forward to seeing and taking a part in the heritage tour. I also adjusted my last day in D.C. to previous scheduled plans to enjoy it. However, I missed out on both due to the last minute cancellation.
