Black History and Culture Tour

The story behind Fort Greene has deep roots in Black history and culture—and when you join The Black History & Culture of Fort Greene Tour, you’ll get a personal, on-the-ground look at this important historical context. We work together with local historian, Suzanne Spellen, and our Tour Advisory Committee to develop and refine the route and educational content to help retell this important history to small groups of 5 to 40 attendees. And we put in the work to make this experience memorable and special, because this is a history that doesn’t just impact Fort Greene Park—it impacts Brooklyn, New York, and the rest of the world.

This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council.
