SUMMARY:Cemetery Speaker Series: Alain LeRoy Locke
DESCRIPTION:Congressional Cemetery is the final resting place of Alain LeRoy Locke\, the first African American Rhodes Scholar. A philosopher\, writer\, and educator\, Locke’s work helped define the contours of the Harlem Renaissance\, helping spread African American intellectual thought across the United States in the early 20th century. In particular\, Locke’s The New Negro: An Interpretation (1925) is widely considered to be the pivotal text of the New Negro Movement. The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. studied Locke’s works and cited him as an important influence when he stated on March 19\, 1968 that\, “We’re going to let our children know that the only philosophers that lived were not Plato and Aristotle\, but W. E. B. Du Bois and Alain Locke came through the universe.” \n \nYet Locke did not only battle racial discrimination. As a gay man\, Locke was aware of his minority status even among other African Americans. In a 1949 note\, Locke reflected on the irony of being born in the U.S. with three minority identities: “Had I been born in ancient Greece\, I would have escaped the first [his sexual identity]; in Europe\, I would have been spared the second [U.S. racial segregation policies and discrimination]; in Japan I would have been above rather than below average [height].” \n \nJune is a month of celebration for both African American heritage with Juneteenth and LGBTQ+ Americans for Pride Month. These “double minorities” are embodied in the legacy of Alain Locke. In honor of the Dean of the Harlem Renaissance\, please join us on Saturday\, June 24 at 10:30 AM for a special Cemetery Speaker Series honoring both African Americans and Gay Americans. One part speaking engagement and one part docent led tour\, the event features keynote remarks on the life and legacy of Locke from Dr. Greg Carr\, Associate Professor in the Department of Afro-American Studies at Howard University\, followed by a thematic tour of both African American and LGBTQ+ gravesites\, culminating of course with a visit to the grave of Alain Locke himself. \nTickets are only $5 and all proceeds benefit our non-profit mission of historical preservation and education. Space is limited so be sure to reserve your spot today! Keynote remarks will take place either outside or inside the Chapel\, weather depending\, and the walking tour will take place on the grounds. The tour is approximately 45 minutes in length. Please come prepared with comfortable clothing and shoes\, as the tours often stray from the main paths. \nThe event is rain or shine. Smoking is prohibited and dogs are not allowed to attend the event unless they are a service animal. \nTo purchase tickets\, click the link HERE.\nWant to rock Cemetery Speaker series merchandise\, including shirts\, hoodies\, and more?\nClick HERE to go to our online store page!\n

SUMMARY:Lincoln Assassination Tour
DESCRIPTION:Back by popular demand! This is your chance to experience our one of a kind Lincoln Assassination Tour if you missed the Cemetery Speaker Series earlier this year. \nYou may purchase tickets here!\nOn April 14\, 1865\, President Abraham Lincoln was shot in the head while watching a play at Ford’s Theatre. The assassin\, John Wilkes Booth\, jumped to the stage floor and fled. The next day\, April 15\, President Lincoln died as a result of his wounds. With Booth’s escape\, the largest manhunt in American history ensued as law enforcement and military searched for the assassin. Aided by fellow conspirators such as David Herold\, Booth evaded authorities until Army soldiers located Booth at a local farm. Surrounded\, Booth was shot and killed in that fateful confrontation. Eventually\, 8 other conspirators\, including Herold\, were implicated in the conspiracy and subsequently executed after a trial by military tribunal. \n \nThe story of the 16th President’s assassination is a well known one. Hundreds of books\, thousands of articles\, and dozens of special exhibits are just some of the ways this story has been told. But have you ever seen the story told using the graves of those involved with the assassination? \nPlease join one of our expert docents for a tour of the graves and memorials associated with the assassination at Congressional Cemetery. \nTickets are only $5 and all proceeds go to benefitting our non-profit mission of historical preservation and education. Please come prepared with comfortable clothing and shoes\, as the tours often stray from the main paths. \nThe event is rain or shine and you may meet the docent near our front gate.

SUMMARY:The War of 1812: Guided Tour
DESCRIPTION:The various internments at Congressional Cemetery are a time capsule of American history. And this is especially true for the War of 1812. Sometimes called the “2nd War for Independence” the conflict saw the fledgling Americans squaring off with the British once again. Across the continent and on the high seas\, Americans fought under the Stars and Stripes for their country. Due to Congressional Cemetery’s status as one of the first burial grounds of national resonance\, many War of 1812 connected individuals decided on Congressional as their final resting place\, including two Commanding Generals of the Army\, a Choctaw War Chief\, and the man who saved the original copy of the Constitution from destruction. \nCome and discover the War of 1812 in an incredibly unique way\, through the gravestones and memorials left behind by those who were there. \nPlease come prepared with comfortable clothing and shoes\, as the tours often stray from the main paths. \nThe tour is rain or shine. \nReservations are required. $5 donation per person \nYou may purchase tickets here!

SUMMARY:Founding the Federal City: Capital Connections Tour
DESCRIPTION:Established in 1800\, Washington DC was the fledgling capital of a fledgling nation. Built to house the seats of federal government\, the nation’s capital soon became a city in its own right\, a place where people lived\, worked\, and\, of course\, died. A mix of congressmen\, merchants\, military officers\, diplomats\, architects\, and enslaved individuals comprised the fabric of the new capital\, an experimental mix of people in an experimental new nation. \nWe invite you to experience the lives of the people in the early days of the Federal City in a new special tour of the cemetery grounds. \nPlease come prepared with comfortable clothing and shoes\, as the tours often stray from the main paths. \nThe Cemetery is closed to dogs on Saturdays\, 11:00-3:00. \nThe tour is rain or shine. \nReservations are required. $5 donation per person \nYou may purchase tickets here!
