A jog through Howard University sparked a debate.
But the real conversation is about Chocolate City, gentrification, and why cultural spaces matter.

Stopped on an episode of Homicide and couldn’t make out the song playing because it didn’t fit the period and learned a Go-Go classic has been removed for the syndication version of the show. #DontMuteDC
The backbeat is the heart of the District. You can't have DC with out the pop on 3. #DontMuteDC #FridayBangers music.apple.com/us/album/get...
#DontMuteDC was a time
A medical cannabis dispensary called the Crank Corner swapped retail spaces with DC's most famous MetroPCS shop, which inadvertently helped kick off the #DontMuteDC movement.
On yesterday’s date in 2019, go-go music returned to the corner of Georgia & Florida Avenues, as a result of the #DontMuteDC campaign
The powerful movement inspired by the hashtag led the Council to formally declare go-go as DC’s official music
On this date in 2019–The hashtag #dontmutedc was born, created by two @HowardU students fed up with DC’s own go-go music being disrespected & silenced. The powerful movement inspired by the hashtag led the Council to declare go-go as DC’s official music:

When they moved to DC and was mad about the gogo music on the block. Started calling the police on the businesses playing it in the area so we had a whole free gogo in the streets !! MOECHELLA, now it's an annual thing. #dontmutedc
Go-go is the official music of DC. The advocates who helped that happen now celebrate at the Go-Go museum. It comes after a high-profile First Amendment fight about playing music outdoors. Our profile from @1stforall.bsky.social of the #DontMuteDC movement #1A ⬇️

Today’s #GoGoPreservationWeek highlight is a special #ThrowbackThursday! An unforgettable moment with the legendary Godfather of Go-Go, Chuck Brown. Sound on to hear a snippet of my remarks from the opening of the Go-Go Museum--a powerful celebration of DC’s rich cultural legacy. #DontMuteDC
taking a page out of Marion Barry’s book by having the honor of preserving our city’s rich culture & boosting #Anacostia’s small businesses. It’s amazing to see this vision come to life! Take a behind-the-scenes look at the incredible museum interior! 🥁🎷 #LongLiveGoGo #DontMuteDC
