Join us for a “Traces, Places, Faces – Harlem Then and Now” tour hosted by Harlem One Stop. HarlemOne Stop is a community-based organization that is deeply involved in serving the interest of the community and preserving what makes great. Harlem All tour guides live in Harlem and are involved in the life of the community. They know all about Harlem’s history as well as Harlem as it is today.
The walking tour will highlight Harlem's social and cultural history, the Harlem Renaissance, contemporary neighborhood shifts and changes, and an overview of the world-renowned neighborhood for African American contributions to visual and literary arts, music and dance, and political discourse in the pursuit of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Key highlights of our walking tour include the Hamilton Heights Historic District, named for Alexander Hamilton, the Harlem School of the Arts, the Dorrance Brooks Historic District, the first historic district to be named for an African American, the Schomburg Center, the world’s largest repository of artifacts, art, and documents dedicated to African American culture, and more.
