Harlem Renaissance Walking Tour with Lunch
Overview
The Harlem Renaissance, also known as the “New Negro” movement, was a period of cultural and social awakening in the 1920s. It was a time of vibrant creativity and artistic expression for African-Americans. Join us on this tour to explore the landmarks and legends of the Harlem Renaissance and uncover the magic of this defining moment in American history.
Have you ever wondered where Swing Street/Jungle Alley was located, or why 135th Street was such a vital hub during the Harlem Renaissance? Lace up your sneakers for an unforgettable journey in Harlem.
As we walk, you’ll see some of the most extraordinary theaters, ballrooms, and churches that were the center of social life during the Renaissance. Along the way, you’ll learn about the influential figures who played a crucial role in shaping this cultural movement - from Langston Hughes, a leader of the Harlem Renaissance, to Pig Foot Mary, Duke Ellington, Madame CJ Walker, Jacob Lawrence, James Van Der Zee, and Zora Neale Hurston.
