This was an amazing walking tour of independence square and landmarks and buildings around it from a black history perspective. Learned a ton from our tour guide Myjule. Highly recommend.

Raina, our tour guide, was terrific, a great storyteller, and an outstanding creator of a fantastic triptik to the past with an emphasis and lens of people of African descent. Now that I type that I realize that statement is unclear. The tour, written by an attorney with incredible knowledge and perspective, is an opportunity to learn a more inclusive history of our nation's earliest days. Be prepared to see more in our nation's past which we don't often learn about in history books. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and listened carefully the whole time.

Raina is the tour guide and did an excellent job. The tour started at the visitor center and that’s where Raina greeted me with her awesome personality. She’s very knowledgeable in what she is doing. Learned a lot about African American history in Philly that you don’t learn elsewhere. Highly recommend this tour!

I went on this tour in the summer of 2023. The tour and tour guide were excellent. I learned a great deal about black life in early Philadelphia.
