Pennsylvania Avenue African American Heritage Trail

Along with the Harlem Street of New York, Bronzeville of Chicago and U Street of Washington, the stretch of Pennsylvania Avenue in Baltimore is a center for “soul” culture. Called as Baltimore’s premier historic African American community, one can take a stroll through this street to hear the stories of the many church and civil rights leaders that shed the nation’s history. After feeding one’s mind with historical facts, one can enjoy sumptuous and soulful food in the numerous cafes and restaurants in the district. Moreover, enjoy jazz music as to how musical legends such as Billie Holiday, Chick Webb, Cab Calloway, Eubie Blake, and more would have enjoyed it in the numerous cafes in The Avenue.
