Self-Guided Podcast Tour Washington, D.C.: Shadows of Georgetown

Beyond the gas lamps and polished brick row houses of Georgetown lies a story of deep division. This walking tour peels back the neighborhood's manicured surface to contrast two parallel worlds: the salon diplomacy of Cold War power brokers and the essential Black communities whose labor built the port and sustained the capital. From tavern booths where clandestine deals were struck to hidden alley dwellings, segregated sanctuaries, and wooded burial grounds, discover how Georgetown's private conversations shaped national policy while systematically pushing its founding labor force into the shadows. - A 4.3 km self-guided tour with 7 stops over 136 min - Ideal for travelers interested in Power, Protest & Civic Spaces and History & Memory - Immersively told in a podcast style by experts and locals - Matching audio content, AI guide and navigation through the app
