Our 10,000-step journey will begin with a birds-eye view of the most popular street in Harlem, 125th Street. The main themes we will discuss are the Harlem Renaissance and gentrification.
We walk by and discuss these famous places:
– The world’s famous Apollo Theater
– Sylvia’s Soul Food Restaurant
– The home of Langston Hughes
– Astor’s Row
– Several iconic murals
This tour is based on a book I have written, “You Are Here: A Geographic History of Enslaved and Free Africans in Manhattan from 1613 to 1865.” I will use my tour guide experience (given over 500 tours) to make this a fun-filled tour. And best of all, you will have a Harlem experience—see the friendly culture, people, and places of Harlem.
