In honor of Black History Month, Lyft is offering up a free ride to one of three local museums that celebrate black history and culture.
D.C. riders can head to the following places gratis using code “BHMDCA19”:
- National Museum of African American History and Culture (read up on their new ticket policy here)
- Anacostia Community Museum (it’s really worth the trip to one of the Smithsonian’s most overlooked institutions)
- Alexandria Black History Museum (details here)
If you happen to find yourself in Baltimore, you can also take advantage of the promo (code “BHMBWI19”) to head to the National Great Blacks In Wax Museum, the Reginald F. Lewis Museum, and the Frederick Douglass-Isaac Myers Maritime Park.
The company is offering the promotion across the country, saying in a release that “we see the importance of celebrating the diversity that we have right around us.” The rideshare app is also asking riders to donate to Black Girls Code through their Round Up & Donate program in honor of the one year anniversary of their partnership with the organization.
The promotion covers rides up to $10, and will be available through February 28. For other ways to celebrate Black History Month, see these seven films, performances, and other events.
