Item Description

“We shall overcome because the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice,” declared Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1968. By the time you read that quote at the conclusion of this walk you will have encountered the author of the Declaration of Independence, drafter of the country’s first bill of rights, the champion of the New Deal and the woman who wrote the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. For two weeks each spring the Tidal Basin glows with a pink-white hue of thousands of Japanese cherry trees. Yet once the glory of the blossoms has vanished the memorials around this manmade body of water continue to resonate with the American principles of independence, equal rights and justice. An assembly of brilliant leaders is on view, including the only First Lady featured in a presidential memorial and the first private citizen honored on the National Mall. Keep a look out for a Scottish terrier, too.

The Road to Civil Rights visits the Thomas Jefferson Memorial, George Mason Memorial, Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial, Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial plus views of the Washington Monument, U.S. Air Force Memorial and District War Memorial.

You will also receive six passes to the highly sought after National Museum of African American History and Culture, the only national museum devoted exclusively to the documentation of African American life. This museum offers visitors an opportunity to explore the history of African American culture through various interactive exhibits. There are numerous exhibits to explore at the newest museum of the Smithsonian Institution.

Passes are good for May 16 at 3:15pm. Your Washington Walks tour may be scheduled for a mutually agreeable time.
