Brooklyn Black Heritage Walking Tour

Explore the stories that shaped Fort Greene and Clinton Hill on a 3-hour Brooklyn Black Heritage walking tour. These storied neighborhoods have influenced American history, literature, film, and activism, and their streets reveal a rich history of creativity and community building.

Walk through a landmark park tied to Black protest and celebration, and hear about a historic church whose walls held secrets of the Underground Railroad. Along residential blocks, learn about the cultural figures who lived and created here, then discover independent cultural spaces that continue the tradition. The route also explores Brooklyn’s leading performing arts institution and its connections to Black artists across generations. A live Portuguese-speaking guide brings the neighborhood’s history into focus. Bottled water is included; meals, public transportation, and cultural or heritage site entrance fees are not.
