A HISTORY OF U STREET THROUGH PICTURES

I had never ventured further than the National Mall or Chinatown whenever I would come to Washington DC.

I never thought of going to any other section of the city.

I realize by doing my latest 30 Plus Teams Tour just how much history there was going on in other areas, especially U Street .

It was known as “Black Broadway ” back in the day because black people weren’t allowed to perform anywhere in town.

As I walked through this vibrant neighborhood , I saw just what I had been missing by skipping this neighborhood .

Enjoy the history through the pictures and the murals.
