Want to learn about some radical Black women who contributed to making Harlem a center of cultural innovation, radical politics and sustained activism in the 1930s? The tour will be led by Mariame Kaba who will share stories of inspiring Black women like Regina Andrews, Ella Baker, Williana Burroughs, Amy Ashwood Garvey, Louise Thompson Patterson, Pauli Murray, Billie Holiday, Mother Audley Moore and more.
We’ll visit the street corners, buildings, public places and neighborhood spots where Black women made history – with impacts that extended far beyond Harlem’s streets to the world.
