WASHINGTON — It’s nice when you don’t have to travel far to discover a world of history, culture, and stories. Today, we started at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library for the District Vibes: American Pride exhibition, which offered a powerful look at how the people of D.C. have helped shape American culture—from neighborhoods and creativity to music, sports, food, and social change.
Then, we stopped at a true D.C. institution, Ben’s Chili Bowl for lunch. The final stops of the day were a visit to the African American Civil War Memorial and a sneak preview of the recently renovated African American Civil War Museum. The museum’s From Slavery to the White House: Tracing Michelle Obama’s Ancestry exhibition and The Glorious March to Victory: Civil War to Civil Rights were both informative and inspiring.
