Washington DC Trivia & Famous Residents

Events  

Washington DC has been a leading tourist destination since the White House and U.S. Capitol Building both opened in 1800. Howard University has been a magnet for Black Travelers since 1867 and the stakes were raised during the 1963 March On Washington at the Lincoln Memorial. More recent milestone attractions include the Martin Luther King Memorial and the unmatched National Museum of African America History & Culture.

The most surprising and one of the most magnetic attractions is the Black Lives Matter Plaza. It came right on time in front of the most unlikely White House resident.
