Description
Modern downtown Rockville has a rich African-American history. This walking tour will include spots related to enslavement and the stark injustice of lynching; a once-thriving Black community in the heart of Rockville; education as a valued means to better lives; and a milestone civil rights victory by the legendary Thurgood Marshall. In all, we’ll cover about 10 city blocks. Participants are responsible for their own transportation and will meet in front of Rockville Memorial Library, 21 Maryland Ave. (metered on-street parking or time-ticketed parking in Garage A, entrance off Maryland Ave. opposite the library; Rockville Metro station 2 blocks away).
