Bus Tour: The Black Feminist DC Experience

Explore the history of Black feminism in Washington, DC with A Tour of Her Own. In partnership with the National Women’s History Museum, this tour begins at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library for a guided exploration of We Who Believe in Freedom: Black Feminist DC. This exhibition traces the impact of Black feminism in DC from the turn of the 20th century to the present day and was curated by renowned historians Sherie M. Randolph and Kendra T. Field. This temporary exhibit will close in September 2024 so this is a last chance to explore before it’s gone!

Head out of the DC Public Library with your TOHO licensed, professional tour guide to discover historical sites and preservation markers that honor Black feminists like Mary Church Terrell, Lucy Diggs Slowe, Eleanor Holmes Norton, Kamala Harris, Dorothy Ferebee, Pauli Murray, Etta Horn, Anna Julia Cooper, and Coretta Scott King. Uncover the accomplishments of organizations like the National Council of Negro Women Inc. and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. Learn and discuss how Black feminists often worked at the intersection of race, class, and gender to shape local DC and broader America history and culture.
