On Saturday, July 8, join us for a captivating professional program: a walking tour of Historic Homo Harlem right here in New York City. This immersive tour, led by renowned historian Michael Henry Adams, will unveil the hidden narratives of African American and Queer history that shaped this vibrant neighborhood. As we stroll through the streets of Harlem, we'll explore architectural gems and significant spaces that embody the rich cultural heritage and legacy of both communities. Working with Save Harlem Now!, Harlem Pride, and Columbia QSAPP, this program aims to rediscover the remarkable contributions, resilience, and vibrancy that once thrived in this remarkable neighborhood.
