What To Expect

Lower East Side

We'll explore often-overlooked histories of Black New Yorkers as we walk the streets of the Lower East Side of Manhattan. From the story of Sebastiaen de Britto, one of the first Black residents of the area in the 1640s, to Studio We, a musician’s collective in the 1970s, we’ll visit buildings and spaces that expand the history of today’s Lower East Side.

Tenement Museum

The tour starts and ends at the Tenement Museum Visitor Center & Shop at 103 Orchard Street.
