Chocolate City: A Tribute to Washington D.C.
In the 1970s, Washington D.C. earned the iconic nickname “Chocolate City,” celebrating its vibrant Black community and rich cultural legacy. At its peak, the city boasted a Black population of over 71%, shaping D.C. into a hub of artistic, musical, and social brilliance.
D.C. became renowned for its soulful jazz scene and the pulse of go-go music, pioneered by legends like Chuck Brown and groups such as TCB and New Impressionz. These rhythms, stories, and voices painted the city in unforgettable hues.
As the Godfather of Funk, George Clinton, famously said:
“Uh, what’s happening CC?
They still call it the White House,
But that’s a temporary condition, too,
Can you dig it, CC?”
This piece is more than art—it’s a homage to the district's history and the spirit it embodies.
