The carousel was originally installed in Baltimore and was moved to the National Mall in 1967, the same day Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech.
The carousel was built in 1947, making it over 75 years old.
It was crafted by the Allan Herschell Company, a prominent name in carousel manufacturing during the mid-20th century.
The carousel boasts hand-carved wooden horses, each painted with intricate details and vibrant colors.
It serves as a reminder of the ongoing journey toward equality and civil rights in the United States.
