While this may be true in most ethnic communities ...
barber shops, beauty parlors, radio, and 'the church' are of great cultural, social and
networking importance in the
black community. Which is why when launching my
Barber Shops & Beauty Salons documentary project in 2002 that my first feature article was on
Brice's Barber Shop on Barrack's Row in SE Washington DC.
And why I have taken a more than passing interest in
Carl's Barber Shop at
1406 P Street in the Logan Cirlce area of NW Washington DC which I first visited in the
spring / summer of 1985.
When on Thanksgiving eve, 26 November 2008 that I stopped in at
Carl's Barber Shop to get my hair by Vincent, I noticed a table at the rear of the shop that featured Obama tee-shirts and hats that were for sale.
Operated by Master Barber/Stylist Zach Turner the Obama merchandise at Carl's Barber Shop includes three different styled of long and short sleeved tee-shirts and a selection of pink, blue, red and white baseball styled caps.
While I do not now recall the prices of the short sleeve shirts or hats, the long sleeve shirts are $20.
So, if you are looking for
Obama t-shirts and hats or are in need of a hair cut, may I suggest that you visit
Carl's Barbershop / Unisex at 1406 P Street in NW Washington DC.
