filling the need for scheduled tours to historical African-American sites
DC In Black, an African-American-owned tour company, was started in the Washington, DC, area to fill the need for scheduled tours to historical African-American sites.
African Americans were a part of Washington, DC’s history from the very beginning, as illustrated by Benjamin Banneker, the African American who surveyed the Federal Territory for the Capitol City. African-American contributions have been abundantly prevalent in Washington, DC. Historically, African-Americans have held prominent positions in DC politics, entertainment, the arts, education, and business. DC has been a choice location for movements, marches, and seeds of change. Because of this, many people of color have been drawn to this city, held high positions, and left their mark in the history of America.
Since many sites are spread throughout the city, we implement the intimacy of the experience by using small minibuses. We are educational yet maintain the ambiance of a private family-style tour. We also provide a tour for the art lover, designed around visiting a number of privately owned art galleries in the city, featuring both local and nationally known artists.
Our tours have options to fit all budgets vis-à-vis your dining pleasures. Arrangements can be made to suit you and/or your group’s needs. Please plan to join us for this unique Washington, DC, experience.
