Every visit to Washington tells a story. I'd love to show you one you may not have heard before. As a guide, my goal isn't simply to tell you what happened. It's to help you understand why it mattered.

That's what Black History in Motion is all about. Join me on Sep. 13.

Don’t miss this! Celebrate the 10th anniversary of the national Museum of African-American History and Culture

Join us September 24-27 for "The Reunion" – a weekend of music, culture, reflection, and community, as we celebrate 10 years of preserving and sharing African American history and culture.

“The Reunion” will extend from the museum’s footprint on the National Mall to The Wharf, a historic site just steps away where one of the most courageous stories of hope, resilience and determination in American history unfolded.

In 1848, 77 freedom seekers boarded the schooner Pearl at The Wharf, risking everything in pursuit of freedom. We are returning to The Wharf to honor their courage and welcome our community home.

Sept 24 | 10th Anniversary museum-wide programming

Sept 25 | A Conversation with Lonnie G. Bunch III, Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution

Sept 26 | The Purple Ball: Echoes of the Pearl – A Fundraising Affair

Sept 27 | Violet Vibes: A Community Celebration

Wear your purple. Come home.

Some stories are carved in stone. Others are waiting to be discovered.

Millions visit Washington every year. Few ever visit Lincoln Park.
Even fewer know about the remarkable woman whose first five dollars earned in freedom helped make the memorial there possible.

Most Americans have never heard her name. After you hear her story, I don't think you'll ever forget it.

Join me on Sunday, Sept. 13 from 2-4:30 pm to discover the story behind the story.
