Harlem Renaissance Visite à pied multimédia
Description
Visitez les sites de Harlem concernant les jours culturellement explosifs de Harlem des années 1920, quand l'art et la culture servaient d'outil aux Afro-Américains et aux Noirs pour définir leur propre image, redéfinissant ainsi la façon dont le monde voyait les gens de couleur en Amérique. Marcher sur les traces de personnages légendaires tels que Marcus Garvey, Langston Hughes, Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday, Harry Wills, Eubie Blake et bien d'autres.

Itinéraire
Nous terminons la tournée à l'Apollo Theatre connu dans le monde entier pour sa légendaire soirée Amateur Night tous les mercredis en début de soirée. À cela, nous entrons à l'intérieur pour voir la boutique de cadeaux, mais le théâtre pour les visites est actuellement interdit en raison de COVID 19.
Le Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture est la principale institution de recherche et de préservation de l'histoire de la diaspora noire. L'institution archive plus de dix millions d'articles relatifs à l'expérience des Noirs. Il y a généralement une exposition dans l'installation pour le public. C'est là que nous nous retrouvons pour la visite avant la visite guidée multimédia Harlem Renaissance de 2 heures.

The tour guide never showed up and didn’t advise that tour was canceled. I also messaged them the day before and they never responded.
Our tour guide was absolutely knowledgeable about his neighborhood. We appreciated hearing about his personal experiences living in Harlem. Meeting up with local residents was a plus. The tour, however, was not quite the Multimedia Harlem Renaissance tour I expected. First, there was no media except for photos on his phone. Second, I was hoping to learn more about the Harlem Renaissance, its important participants and its impact on NYC and on the country. We got a small taste of this info but I hoped for a deeper dive. It was a fun, interesting tour but not as academic as I wished for.
We had a Saturday tour booked thru Harlem Heritage. An hour before, our tour guide texted to say something came up and he would not be able to make it, leaving a lobby-full of disappointed people. But more disconcerting was the lack of correspondence regarding a refund. Neither the tour guide or the office responded to my inquires regarding a refund of the $80 we paid. I ended up having to go thru my credit card company to resolve the issue. That is far from professional.
Wow. Neal is a knowledgeable, passionate, and animated educator. My whole family really enjoyed this tour. Neal took us through history from the 1600s, when Harlem was home to native people, up to the recent decades of hip hop where stars rose literally from the streets of the neighborhood. Most of the tour centered around the Harlem Renaissance - Neal took us to many of the most famous landmarks throughout including the Apollo. I've been in New York for 2 years and this was a really great way to learn a lot about the significant role Harlem played in New York history.
This was truly a lovely day. We felt like we were walking around with the mayor of Harlem. His knowledge and enthusiasm is a beautiful thing.
We loved it and highly recommend it! Plus our tour group ran into two local celebrities, and our super tour guide introduced us, told us why they were each historically important and seamlessly wove their stories into the wonderful Harlem history he was telling us about.
Great tour with Neil as guide. With his impressive personality he told many stories from the founding days to today. Highly recommended
Positive points: The guide was very good, interesting and passionate Negative points: shortened visit, due to an annual event: Event in the neighborhood on the day of our visit. We only visited 3 streets, the visit program was not carried out. The guide was aware of this and offered a refund which he had to request. Still waiting.
The tour did not take place! No one came forward! It’s a scam! How to get a refund??
Awesome tour, very informative, we had a great time learning all about the history of Harlem. My son was able to play in the park and said he now feels like he’s a local.
