The National Register of Historic Places is the official list of the Nation’s historic places worthy of preservation.

The District has been the site of many historic protests and marches: Because of its status as the nation's capital, Washington, D.C. has been the site of numerous demonstrations and marches throughout U.S. history, including the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963 and the Women's March in 2017.
