City of Takoma Park Partners with InSite Street Media to Celebrate Black History Month

Knowing the Past Opens the Door to the Future. With that in mind, the City of Takoma Park and InSite Street Media are celebrating African Americans who paved the way in American Society during Black History Month. This was done through the sponsorship of African American profiles displayed on our curbside billboard bus shelters in the City.

The first six African American Professionals, Pioneers, and Inventor profiles include:

Henry Ossawa Tanner – Internationally Acclaim Painter
Mary Elizabeth Mahoney – Professionally Trained Nurse
Garrett Morgan – Inventor of the 3 Way Traffic Signal
Daniel Hale Williams – Successful Heart Surgeon
Jane Matilda Bolin – Female Judge 1939
Oscar Micheaux – Pioneering Filmmaker
