We build, convene, and innovate in partnership with communities East of the Anacostia River.
The annual Blacks in Wax performances are a collaboration by the DC Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR), Recreation Wish List Committee (RWLC) founded by Ms. Cora Masters Barry, along with the Southeast Tennis and Learning Center (SETLC) tennis scholars. The event celebrates the rich history and culture of over 60 prolific, iconic American heroes from the worlds of sports, entertainment, history, politics, and literature. It captures both American History and Black History and Heroes and unsung heroes. It is an experience you do not want to miss. https://dpr.dc.gov/page/blacks-wax.
