Go back in time to some of the most iconic moments from the civil rights movement with this fascinating African American history tour of Washington DC

From the most famous to lesser-known but equally significant sites, your tour guide will paint a picture of the city from the African American perspective. You’ll be picked up at the U.S. Navy memorial with stops at momentous monuments such as the Emancipation Statue, Howard Theatre, and vibrant black communities.

One of the most comprehensive African American history tours in DC, you’ll also get tickets included to the National Museum of African American History and Culture, where the the tour ends.

Excellent tour and Tour Guide. Our tour guide DRE is an HBCU graduate and it showed. He was able to give historical and relevant information about each monument. I thought he was reading a book, but he wasn't, it was all spontaneous.
