Join us for a walk around Greenwich Village as we explore the lives of the radical playwrights, lawyers, musicians, educators, artists, and activists who have called the neighborhood home. Among the sites we will visit: our city’s first integrated club where Billie Holiday debuted the anti-lynching anthem “Strange Fruit,” the Weather Underground townhouse that a bomb ripped apart, the prison where the FBI detained Angela Davis, the home of Pete Seeger and other artists targeted by the House Un-American Activities Committee, and more. Together we will reflect upon this community’s enduring legacy and impact on social movements of today.
Accessibility
The walk will be on Greenwich Village sidewalks. The entire distance we will cover, with several stops along the way, will be just over a mile. Near the subway at Christopher (1) and W 4th (A/B/C/D/E/F/M).
