Washington, D.C., formally the District of Columbia and commonly referred to as Washington or D.C., is the capital of the United States. Founded after the American Revolution as the seat of government of the newly independent country, Washington was named after George Washington, the first president of the United States and a Founding Father. Washington is an important world political capital. The city, located on the Potomac River bordering Maryland and Virginia, is one of the most visited cities in the world.
The USA's capital teems with iconic monuments, vast museums and the corridors of power where politicos roam. The National Air & Space Museum, National Museum of Natural History, National Museum of African American History & Culture, Reynolds Center for American Art & Portraiture – all here, all free.
The National Mall is a large, open park in downtown Washington between the Lincoln Memorial and the United States Capitol.

DC Police Recruits Share Experience at the National African American Museum
In April 2017, recruit class 16-7 visited the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC). This group, now Metropolitan Police Officers, was the first recruit class to go the exhibits.
The Metropolitan Police Department feels it is important that future and current members visit the museum to learn the history of not only some of the communities they serve, but the role that law enforcement played in them.
According to the recruits, their experience at the museum was so mind blowing, that it should be shared in hopes that this video inspires and encourages others to do the same.
This video was produced by the Metropolitan Police Department, Office of Communications.

African American Life in Washington, DC, Before Emancipation
African American Life in Washington, DC, Before Emancipation
As Washington became the focus of abolitionism before the Civil War, antislavery activists argued that the sight of slavery and slave dealers in the nation’s capital disgraced the nation and its ideals. A panel will explore life before the 1862 Compensated Emancipation Act and discuss the “Slavery and Freedom” exhibit at the Smithsonian’s new National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC). Moderated by John W. Franklin of the NMAAHC, panelists include Mark Auslander, Central Washington University; Maurice Jackson, Georgetown University; and NMAAHC curators Nancy Bercaw and Mary Elliott. Presented in partnership with NMAAHC, the DC Commission of African American Affairs, and the DC Commission on Emancipation.
