Washington, D.C
Washington, D.C., formally the District of Columbia is the capital of the United States of America.
Washington is the political Capital of the World, owing to its status as the seat of the United States federal government and numerous international institutions, such as the World Bank and International Monetary Fund. Washington is one of the most visited cities in the world, with more than 20 million annual tourists.
The signing of the Residence Act on July 16, 1790, approved the creation of a capital district located along the Potomac River on the country's East Coast. The U.S. Constitution provided for a federal district under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Congress and the District is therefore not a part of any state. The states of Maryland and Virginia each donated land to form the federal district, which included the pre-existing settlements of Georgetown and Alexandria. Named in honor of President George Washington, the City of Washington was founded in 1791 to serve as the new national capital.
All three branches of the U.S. federal government are centered in the District: U.S. Congress (legislative), President (executive), and the U.S. Supreme Court (judicial).
The city hosts 177 foreign embassies as well as the headquarters of many international organizations, trade unions, non-profit, lobbying groups, and professional associations, including the Organization of American States, AARP, the National Geographic Society, the Human Rights Campaign, the International Finance Corporation, and the American Red Cross.
The National Mall is a large, open park in downtown Washington between the Lincoln Memorial and the United States Capitol. Given its prominence, the mall is often the location of political protests, concerts, festivals, and presidential inaugurations. The Washington Monument and the Jefferson Pier are near the center of the mall, south of the White House. Also on the mall are the National World War II Memorial at the east end of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, the Korean War Veterans Memorial, and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
Directly south of the mall, the Tidal Basin features rows of Japanese cherry blossom trees that originated as gifts from the nation of Japan. The Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial, George Mason Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial, and the District of Columbia War Memorial are around the Tidal Basin.
The Smithsonian Institution is an educational foundation chartered by Congress in 1846 that maintains most of the nation's official museums and galleries in Washington, D.C. The most visited museum are the National Museum of Natural History, the National Air and Space Museum; the National Museum of African Art and the National Museum of American History.
The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts is home to the National Symphony Orchestra, the Washington National Opera, and the Washington Ballet. The Kennedy Center Honors are awarded each year to those in the performing arts who have contributed greatly to the cultural life of the United States. The historic Ford's Theatre, site of the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, continues to operate as a functioning performance space as well as museum.
The Watergate Complex was the site of the Watergate Scandal, which led to President Nixon's resignation.
Arlington National Cemetery is in Arlington County, Virginia, across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C., in whose 624 acres (253 ha) the dead of the nation's conflicts have been buried, beginning with the Civil War, as well as reinterred dead from earlier wars. Among the most frequently visited sites in the cemetery are the graves of President John F. Kennedy and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, marked with an eternal flame.
The United States Air Force Memorial honors the service of the personnel of the United States Air Force and its heritage organizations. The Memorial is located in Arlington County, Virginia, on the grounds of Fort Myer near The Pentagon.

Although the honorees on this stage each possess a staggering amount of talent, the truth is, they aren't being recognized tonight simply because of their careers as great lyricists or songwriters or dancers or entertainers, instead, they're being honored for their unique ability to bring us closer together and to capture something larger about who we are - not just as Americans, but as human beings.

The superfluous (can't pronounce)... It's this lip, it's hard to say, super..., you try it when you've had 12 stitches. The superfluous (cheering), thank you. To many people the superfluous is necessary, the theatre is necessary, dance is necessary, song is necessary, the arts are necessary, they are a necessary part of our lives. The men and women here tonight embody that idea, the work has enriched our lives, it's inspired us to greatness and tonight it is my honour to offer them the appreciation of a grateful nation.
15. Wide of President Obama greeting each recipient personally on stage and walks out with wife Michelle
STORYLINE
PAUL MACCARTNEY AND OPRAH WINFREY HONORED
When The Beatles were storming America, Oprah Winfrey had the band's poster on her bedroom wall, Merle Haggard was free from prison, Jerry Herman was making Broadway sing and Bill T. Jones was not yet a dancer but growing up in a migrant labour camp.
On Sunday (6 DEC. 2010), these leading artists who followed divergent paths since the 1960s joint a former Beatle Paul McCartney to receive the Kennedy Centre Honors.
They heard accolades from US President Barack Obama.
Although the honorees on this stage each possess a staggering amount of talent, the truth is, they aren't being recognized tonight simply because of their careers as great lyricists or songwriters or dancers or entertainers, Obama said.
Instead, they're being honored for their unique ability to bring us closer together and to capture something larger about who we are - not just as Americans, but as human beings.
Sunday's ceremony was sparkling with visiting celebrities, including actress Julia Roberts, singer Gwen Stefani, US Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and actress, singer and former Kennedy Honors recipient Diana Ross.
The guest list also included veteran entertainer Sidney Poitier.
The former Beatle McCartney, making his second visit to Washington this year for a culture award, said the admiration is mutual.
In June, he won the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song from the Library of Congress.
Since the 1960s, the new Kennedy Centre honorees have helped define television, dance, theatre and music.
His work has tackled racism, AIDS and other tough issues, sometimes sparking outrage.
