Participants will explore the rich history of Black women in Greenwich Village and discover historical sites that mark their presence and contributions. Stops include Lorraine Hansberry’s home, a bar frequented by Audre Lorde, Dr. Angela Davis’s high school and a club where Nina Simone recorded a live album among other sites. The tour spans the mid-17th century through the mid-20th century.
Participants should bring water if they’ll need it. We will not have an opportunity to stop for a bathroom break.
