Join Save Harlem Now! for the July East Harlem Walking Tour, a guided journey through East Harlem, where we will explore historic and cultural landmarks that reflect the neighborhood’s deep legacy of art, activism, and resilience.

The tour will start at El Barrio’s Artspace at PS 109, a premier example of the transformation of early public school architecture into vibrant artistic and cultural hubs. The tour will then wind through streets that have long been home to influential thinkers, creatives, and community builders. Along the way, participants will observe iconic murals, visit local sites, and engage with stories that highlight East Harlem’s enduring contributions to the city’s cultural fabric.

The tour will conclude at the Harlem African Burial Ground, a sacred site that anchors the neighborhood’s past and informs its future.
