The idea of this tour is to convey what the Civil Rights Movement was, what it meant to the country/world, and the role that Harlem leaders and community organizations played in the movement.

This tour is unique in that we will present video clips of history at the very sight where history happened. Hear the voice of Dr. Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., as he denounces the Vietnam War while we approach the Riverside Church. Watch video of Malcolm X, as he rally’s a crowd with words of wisdom and truth.
