Join us for a walking tour through Laurel Hill West where resilience, artistry, activism, and quiet heroism rest side by side. Together, we’ll honor the lives of Black Philadelphians whose legacies echo far beyond their headstones — trailblazers who carved paths through adversity and left indelible marks on the city’s history. It’s a tour of remembrance, reflection, and connection.
