To celebrate Juneteenth and give back, the Rita Fuller-Yates Savannah Black History Tours partnered with the City of Savannah and Yates Entertainment to offer a free walking cemetery tour for Savannah residents.
The tour was initially created as an additional tour to offer to tourists, but once I understood the assignment, I knew the goal had shifted. The residents of Savannah are the priority when it pertains to the segregated black cemetery; if they don't know its significance, it will become challenging for them to help preserve it. The tours were not just about stories, they were about education.
Effective teaching is essential to me, and we purchased headsets for all the tourists. We also provided a picnic lunch with popular food items during a picnic in the cemetery in the 1800s. The individual picnic baskets added to the vibe!!
We are currently looking for corporate sponsors to partner with for this event. Please let me know if you have any in mind:))
