Black History Tour

Experience a profound journey through history with a docent-led tour of three historic houses recognized by UNESCO as Sites of Memory under their "Slave Route Project." Each home tells a unique story of resilience, culture, and the enduring legacy of those who lived through the era of slavery. Among the sites is the Rev. Jack Yates House, a significant landmark that offers insight into the life and contributions of a key figure in African American history. Visitors will gain a deeper understanding of the social, cultural, and historical contexts that shaped these communities and the broader narrative of freedom and resistance.

The tour also includes admission to the Museum gallery, where carefully curated exhibits and artifacts further illuminate the experiences and legacies of enslaved people and their descendants. Through interactive storytelling and thoughtful interpretation, this experience provides an educational and moving exploration of the past, fostering reflection and dialogue about history, memory, and justice. It’s an opportunity not only to witness historical landmarks but to connect with the powerful stories they preserve for future generations.
