Experience the Black History and Culture of Fort Greene Tour led by local historian, Suzanne Spellen. Working with Spellen and our Tour Advisory Committee, we develop and refine the route and educational content to help retell Fort Greene’s deep roots in Black history and culture for a personal, on-the-ground look at this important historical context. Please RSVP for the October date. All tours are free and will proceed rain or shine! Offered in two installments, The Heart of Black Fort Greene: Fulton Street tour and The Fort Greene Black History Makers and Cultural Giants tour provide rich context and history ranging from the 1800s to today. This tour will follow The Heart of Black Fort Greene (Fulton Street) route. The Black History and Culture Tour of Fort Greene is an initiative of the Fort Greene Park Conservancy and Myrtle Avenue BID developed in partnership with BlackSpace, the Future Historical Society at BRIC, MoCADA, and the Weeksville Heritage Center.
