A Great Welcome to Harlem! Thank You for the Introduction.

My husband and I, visiting New York City from Toronto, had a great walking tour of Harlem on 9/11, 2017. Our guide being a long-standing resident of the Sugar Hill district of Harlem, was very welcoming, relaxed, informative, and fun. We can't wait to return to NYC and take some of the other tours on offer by this great small, women-owned and operated tour company. The gospel and jazz tours are of special interest. Thank you, and I hope to see you again soon!

The Red Summer of 1919 stands as a pivotal moment in American history, marked by racial tensions, violent clashes, and the resilience of African-American communities. Following World War I, African-American soldiers returned home, hopeful for equality and better opportunities. However, they were met with fierce racial discrimination, economic competition, and systemic oppression fueled by Jim Crow laws and white supremacist ideologies.
