About the event

This tour is free with voluntary donation to your organizer Hank Orenstein.

Note that the walk begins at 11:30am in front of the library and I suggest arriving no later than 11:00am to see some of the exhibits - and earlier if you wish. The library opens at 10:00am, free admission and there are restrooms.

This guided walk features a comprehensive overview of Harlem's rich history from Dutch Nieuw Haarlem in the 1600's through the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920's and 30's to what's happening today. Stops include the original swing street, St. Nicholas Historic District, the famous Apollo Theater, historic churches and Harlem Hospital, which saved Martin Luther King's Life on Sept. 20, 1958 preserving the Civil Rights Movement.

We'll walk from Central Harlem meeting at the extraordinary Schomburg Center Library to take in the three exhibits there which span painting and photography: https://www.nypl.org/events/exhibitions/schomburg
