African-American Heritage of Manhattan: History Before Harlem Tour
Immerse yourself in NY's African-American Experience on our 3-4 hour tour. Connect to the liberation of the slaves, freed in New York City forty years before the Emancipation Proclamation. Pay your respects or honor your ancestors at the African Burial Ground National Monument, where more than 20,000 slaves and freedmen were buried here in the 1700s and forgotten for 200 years. Walk past the courthouses made famous in Law and Order to the former Five Points neighborhood - one of the most notorious slums in America and the former stomping grounds of "The Gangs of New York." Learn about the vibrant street life of the African-American and working class Irish immigrants.
NY's African-American Heritage: from the African Burial Ground to Harlem.
Finally, make your way uptown to Harlem, the one-time capital of the African-American community in America and the vibrant stage for the Harlem Renaissance in the 1920s. Literature, theater, art, comedy, politics, music, spirit and soul were all found here during Harlem's cultural apogee. Go past the world famous Apollo Theater, the Malcolm X Memorial, Hamilton Grange and other Harlem landmarks like the Mosque Number 7, Bill Clinton's office on W 125th street, and the Malcolm Shabazz African Market.
