Blackness is woven into the fabric of Washington, D.C. Whether enshrined as a street renamed in honor of 'mayor for life' Marion Barry, expressed in local lingo or covered in mumbo sauce, the cultural influence of generations of Black Washingtonians is the lifeblood of the city.
In honor of Black History Month, The Post asked 14 local Black leaders - from uptown to Anacostia, across industries and eras - to tell us about the D.C. landmarks of particular significance to them as emblems of the city's Black culture. They also told us about a Black-owned business they can't live without.
