First black mayor of Washington DC

On September 6, 1967, Walter E. Washington broke new ground as the first African-American mayor of Washington, D.C. His appointment during the height of the civil rights era was more than history — it was a declaration that Black leadership belonged at the highest levels of government. Washington’s courage and determination opened doors for generations to follow, reminding us that progress comes when barriers are challenged and leadership reflects the people it serves.
