As the walking tour features 25 historical signs placed at locations in the Black Community that highlight that history such as the first Medical Manufacturing Business in the early 1900, the first Black Employment Agency, the Black Businesses on Main Street before the Civil War, the first Black Lawyer in Washington in the early 1900's, the first Black movie house in Washington (it wasn't the Lenox built in 1947), Resurrection City, the Washington Black Civic League, locations that hosted Civil Rights meetings of the 1960's and 70's. the Starlight Club mentioned in the Green Book in the 1950's and so much more! We cannot place the signage out in rainy weather, and we want our tour attendees to be comfortable and safe. We hope to re-schedule as soon as possible.
