The U Street Lincoln theater may have to close up shop for away. As of yesterday, the Lincoln Theater only had 1500 dollars in his bank account. The theater is a historical land mark for the District of Columbia and to many African Americans in the country. The theater is only a two blocks from Fenty’s mayor campaign office of 2006. The Lincoln will get a line of credit until for awhile to pay salaries and to pay its bills. The District of Columbia spent 9 million to rebuild the theater in the 80’s and gave the theater 250,000 a year in funding grant up until now. The Lincoln said it was promised 500k this year in the form of a grant but when the card was called. The Lincoln was told no money to help.
