Portland, Maine: Sort historie guidet vandretur
Beskrivelse
Følg skridtene fra de sorte portlændere, der flyttede vores by, stat og land tættere på idealerne om frihed, demokrati, muligheder og lighed. Maines tidligste bosættelser kunne ikke have eksisteret uden sort arbejde, dygtighed og indsigt. Du vil møde Black Yankees, der grundlagde Maine-samfund, væltede slaveriet i hele landet, drev vores maritime industrier, fik politisk indflydelse, krydsede farvegrænser og udvidede Mainers rettigheder i den moderne æra. Når du træder på granitbrosten, der er skæve af alderen - der engang så fodfald fra nationale helte som Frederick Douglass - vil du passere butiksfacader, der engang var hjemsted for sortejede barbershops, hvor afskaffelsesforkæmpere hviskede efterretninger til underjordiske jernbanekonduktører. Nyd 2 timers underholdende og oplysende historisk fortælling over en rute på 1,5 mil. Ejer og guide, Dugan Murphy, gravede gennem arkiverne for at præsentere en fantastisk konstellation af historier, der er udeladt af de fleste ture. TripAdvisor kaldte ham Portlands #1 guide!

Rejseplan
Din guide Dugan vil føre dig til de steder, der er relevante for Black Mainers og deres resultater. Vi vil spore skridtene på de mennesker, der modstod indignation og realiserede magt for at flytte vores by, stat og land tættere på idealer om frihed, demokrati, muligheder og ligestilling.
Opdag den skjulte sorte historie, der foregik slaveriet i Maine.
Bliv overrasket over historien om en stort set ukendt, men velforbundet international aktivist fra det 19. århundrede, der gemmer sig i synet.
Hør den komplicerede historie om racemæssig passage på de højeste niveauer i det 19. århundredes katolske Maine.
Dugan vil guide dig til, hvor sorte ledere og arbejdere formede Portlands kyst og tjente en plads ved bordet, når oddsene var imod dem. Vi vil ære den sorte journalist, der besluttede at forlade USA bag sig og søge selvbestemmelse i en nyetableret afrikansk nation.

Nice breakdown of Portland's black history and its connection to national and international movements. I'm a history teacher and I learned things I want to follow up on for the classroom!
If content from my tour will show up in your classroom, then my goal is accomplished. I'm happy to have met someone as amazed by this history as I am. Thanks for coming with me!
My mom and I loved the Portland Black History Tour that was guided by Dugan. We learned so much Maine Black history that we never knew existed. Dugan was so detailed and knowledgeable about the history. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn more about Portland, and Maine. Thank you again, Dugan, for the amazing experience!

If you come across this in your search of things to do in Portland, Maine, BOOK IT! Dugan is one of the best tour guides I've experienced and you are in for a treat. It was a small group, we were able to ask questions, I learned more than I thought I would about Maine's roles in Black history. Would recommend to anyone! Just wear some walking shoes and be ready to be surprised with info!
Get ready to be surprised is right! The Black history of Portland includes some amazing accomplishments for how small the Black community is and has been. Thank you for choosing this tour!
Dugan was an awesome tour guide and was very knowledgeable about the history of the city overall and particularly Maine’s black history. Would highly recommend when visiting Portland!
I'm really glad you enjoyed this tour! Maine's historical Black figures don't get enough credit, so I'm excited to share their stories. Thank you for writing a review!
Informative and interesting. Dugan has done a lot of research to put this and other walking tours together. We learned about many of Portland, Maine’s black community members from colonial times with links to the present. A great way to spend two hours learning about the town in which we live.
Thank you for taking the Black History Tour with me! There are so many surprising and amazing stories to learn about. I'm glad you appreciate these historical accomplishments as much as I do.
The Portland by foot Black History tour is a wonderful tour. Dugan has a vast knowledge of Portland's Black History and beyond and he loves to share it. We learned a lot. My wife and I are a little older. But were able to make the walk with no problems. We really enjoyed the tour. This was actually our second tour with Portland by the foot. We also went on the Portland History tour.
I do love to share history! Thank you for taking two tours with me. This was a great time.
This was a fascinating tour. Dugan was a wealth of knowledge. History we should all learn! We highly recommend this tour
Black history is certainly woefully under-taught in our schools. I'm happy to know you're as impressed as I am with these stories. Thanks for joining me and thanks for the tour!
Dugan knows his Black history and does an awesome job of engaging you throughout the tour. I would recommend this for solo of family fun.
The history of Portland's Black residents is astounding and I loved sharing it with you on our walk. Thank you for taking this tour and for writing a review!
I thought it was a great, very in depth look at Black history through the century in Portland. My guide Dugan took his time to careful explain how ghe African American population influenced Portland. He happily answered questions. He did a wonderful job with his presentation along with the pictures he displayed the locations during specific time periods.
The images I bring with me on the tour do a great job illustrating topics as we explore the city. Thank you for learning about Black history with me and for reviewing your experience!
