The designated Pennsylvania Avenue Black Arts and Entertainment District is the commercial main street in this area. The Colored High and Training School (later renamed Frederick Douglass High School), along with other segregated schools within the district, produced many prominent individuals, including Thurgood Marshall, the nation's first African American Supreme Court justice, and Lucy Diggs Slowe, educator, tennis champion, and one of the 16 founders of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority. Many notable people have visited the area, such as Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. DuBois, Countee Cullen, Elton Fax, Madame C.J. Walker, Marcus Garvey, and Princess Wee Wee.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philip Jackson Merrill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1540245217\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781540245212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Pub (Sc)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/09\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 7.50w x 0.38d","brand":"Philip Jackson Merrill","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43987712082175,"sku":"9781540245212","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e5fc013b-fd66-41f8-94a9-74a066bf0c83.jpg?v=1683290560","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/old-west-baltimore-philip-jackson-merrill-9781540245212","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
