Black Reconstruction in Lower Charles Village: A walking tour

‘Tis the season for a gentle daytime walk with a hot drink in hand, through the Charles North, Old Goucher, and Barclay neighborhoods. This tour features histories of Black Baltimorean resistance to white supremacist institutions & political machinations, between approximately 1865 & 1920. Come join us for stories about HBCUs, Black churches, Black lawyers, political organizing, and labor organizing—and to see a vision of what Baltimore looked like before the “Black Butterfly” and the “white L” took their shape. This tour is intended to inspire and ground us while we enjoy the beautiful Romanesque and rowhouse architecture of this colorful part of town.

Accessibility: We will be walking on city sidewalks, and the tour route can be modified slightly to accommodate mobility aids. The tour will cover approximately 1.3 miles.
