Lincoln Theatre on U Street - 'Black Broadway' landmark

The Lincoln Theatre, built in 1922 on U Street, is a historic African American performance space that was part of the corridor known as 'Black Broadway.' During the early-to-mid 20th century it hosted celebrated performers such as Billie Holiday and Cab Calloway. The restored theater now functions as a performing arts venue and cultural center serving Washington, D.C.'s music and arts community.
