Engaging. Enjoyable! Informative!! - Our group leader Mijuel Johnson was wonderful ! He was so well informed, friendly, well organized. The group’s members bonded and enjoyed his humor too! Great introduction to the hardest moments in American history but also to black leaders in the city to celebrate, like W E B Du Bois and the Forten family. Right in the corners of Philadelphia where the lived!
