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.

Фреска с чашей чили Бена

В то время как БОЛЬШИНСТВО ПОСЕТИТЕЛЕЙ НАПРАВЛЯЕТСЯ В Ben’s Chili Bowl на U Street за фирменной полукопченой колбасой, любимая достопримечательность Вашингтона, округ Колумбия, также может похвастаться впечатляющей фреской, посвященной выдающимся чернокожим американцам. Фреска менялась несколько раз с момента ее появления в 2012 году, и ранее на ней были изображены крупный улыбающийся Билл Косби, Барак Обама, Донни Симпсон и Чак Браун. Эта часть фрески была удалена после того, как стали известны обвинения против Косби, который был известным частым посетителем Ben’s Chili Bowl. В течение короткого периода времени в 2017 году на фреске была дань уважения Washington Wizards к плей-офф НБА. Затем, в 2017 году, местный художник Аниекан Удофия нарисовал фреску, которая стоит там сегодня.

Мемориальный музей гражданской войны афроамериканцев

Первый мемориал, посвященный исключительно Черным войскам, сражавшимся за Союз. КОГДА МЯТЕЖНЫЕ ГОСУДАРСТВА ОТКАЗАЛИСЬ воссоединиться с Союзом в начале Гражданской войны в США, президент Авраам Линкольн издал Прокламацию об освобождении и создал ряд полков в армии и флоте Союза, укомплектованных чернокожими солдатами. Этот мемориал в Вашингтоне, округ Колумбия, посвящен тем подразделениям, которые столкнулись с особой жестокостью со стороны противостоящей армии и дискриминацией внутри своей собственной. Более 200 000 чернокожих американцев заполнили 175 полков цветных войск США (USCT), что составляло примерно одну десятую сил Союза. Политика Союза в отношении военной службы чернокожих изменилась во многом благодаря настойчивости чернокожего американского сообщества. В конце концов, 180 000 чернокожих солдат, которые служили, в том числе 98 500 бывших порабощенных мужчин, оказали решающую услугу армии Союза. Их имена и имена их белых вписаны в Стену Чести.

Театр Говарда

На протяжении десятилетий звезды черной музыки выступали в этом историческом центре музыки и искусства. ТЕАТР ГОВАРДА, ИЗВЕСТНЫЙ КАК первый черный театр в Америке, был основан в 1910 году в районе Шоу в Вашингтоне, округ Колумбия, который окружает университет Говарда. Он был основан, чтобы создать пространство для развлечения чернокожих мужчин и женщин, поскольку в то время им не разрешалось посещать другие места в городе. Его начало было революционным и впоследствии привлекло ряд чернокожих музыкантов от Луи Армстронга до Кендрика Ламара. До того, как Театр Говарда завоевал свою национальную репутацию, он был известен на местном уровне своими любительскими мероприятиями в стиле открытого микрофона и конкурсами в стиле битв групп. До эры чикагского джаза и Гарлемского ренессанса Театр Говарда был центром музыкальных исследований.
