I've posted pictures of this park before. I just found out recently that it's the longest 'step' type of fountain in the country. It has some European origins, but I forget now. Originally called Meridian Hill Park, it's now called Malcolm X Park. In the past it was the dividing line between a white community on one side and black on the other. People came together to enjoy the park.

On Sundays during the summer people from around the neighborhood would come together for really lively drum circles. Lots of people would dance.
