Join us for the Black History and Culture of Fort Greene tour led by Suzanne Spellen with a special stop at Brooklyn Paramount. Working together with local historian, Suzanne 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. 

Offered in two installments, The Heart of Black Fort Greene: Fulton Street tour, and Fort Greene Black History Makers and Cultural Giants tour provide rich context and history ranging from the 1800s to today. 

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.

RSVPs are encouraged but not required. All tours are free! Tour will proceed rain or shine!
