        Reclaiming Black Spaces

        May 5 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm

        • « Day in the Life: 1902
        • A Place for Us: Reflections from Chinatown / 我們的歸宿 »

        Tenement Museum

        In the Tenement Museum’s newest neighborhood walking tour, Reclaiming Black Spaces, we’ll highlight stories of how Black and African Americans shaped Lower Manhattan as they made homes, businesses, and communities there over the centuries. Discover what drew Black New Yorkers to Lower Manhattan, and how their experiences were shaped by that migration, how those communities created a sense of home, and how they resisted the racism they faced. From the story of Sebastiaen de Britto, one of the first Black residents of the area in the 1640s, to Studio We, a musician’s collective in the 1970s, we’ll look through windows into the past that expand the history of today’s Lower East Side.
