51 statehood, Black history, and social justice themed murals in Washington, DC

You may have noticed some new murals throughout each ward. Those were commissioned by Mayor Muriel Bowser who requested the murals be completed by June 26, 2020 the day the U.S. House of Representatives would vote on D.C. statehood for the first time in a generation. We spent a few days locating most of the murals and my kids loved keeping track of how many we saw as well as discussing what each portrayed and what they meant. We have put together the addresses of the murals below and won’t spoil it for you completely with a bunch of photos, but know that some locations may have 5 murals while another may only have 1. Enjoy!

The murals can be found at the address below, we grouped them together if they are near another mural to save you time.
