Go-go, which traces its roots to the African-American neighborhoods in and around Washington, DC, is an exception. A new museum aims to preserve and amplify its essence for future generations.
With its unique rhythms and beats, go-go serves not only as a music genre but as a cultural touchstone for Black Washingtonians, uniting them against the pressures of gentrification.
The Go-Go Museum and Cafe seeks to celebrate the genre's powerful legacy while providing a space for community engagement, creativity, and resistance to the erasure of Black heritage in the city.
As gentrification continues to impact Washington, DC, preserving go-go is essential to honor the history and contributions of the Black community, ensuring its place in the cultural fabric of the city.
