Our expedition is rooted in the book authored by me, titled ‘You Are Here: A Geographic History of Enslaved and Free Africans in Manhattan from 1613 to 1865.’ Drawing from my background as a tour guide (having delivered over 500 tours), I will endeavor to make this an entertaining excursion. Best of all, you will gain an authentic Harlem experience—witness the vibrant culture, locals, and landmarks of Harlem.
