Rising Voices: Histoire sous-représentée (par Walk With Me Savannah Tours)

Aperçu
Walk With Me Savannah Tours presents 'Rising Voices', a Savannah history tour exclusively featuring underrepresented narratives and figures.

Historically too many narratives have been minimized or just left out of society's carefully crafted histories. Take a walking tour where we instead exclusively highlight those underrepresented voices.

We will focus on the lives and accomplishments of black, native, queer, and female residents of Savannah and how they impacted the world around them, in such a way that Savannah as it stands would not exist without each and every one of them.

Tours start in Franklin Square and conclude in Monterey Square.

À quoi s'attendre
1
Franklin Square
In Franklin Square we will discuss how Haiti volunteered during the American Revolution, clandestine schools that operated in Savannah that taught literacy to black students while such an education was outlawed, the First African Baptist Church which houses the oldest African Baptist congregation in the country, and its role in the Underground Railroad.
2
City Market
Passing through City Market, we will see Club One, the home performance venue of Lady Chablis, a Savannah LGBTQ icon. We will also see the building that was home to one of the most active markets for the selling of humans as property, which was immediately converted into a freedman's school after emancipation by some of the very people who were sold as property inside.
3
Telfair Academy
We will stop in front of Telfair Academy and discuss Mary Telfair, a woman who defied the expectations placed on her by gender roles at the time and began the legacy of preservation in Savannah.
4
Wright Square
Here we will discuss the impacts of two key native figures in Savannah history: Tomochichi, chief and founder of the native Yamacraw tribe, and Coosaponakeesa (AKA Mary Musgrove) a Creek woman. Both were as instrumental in the shaping of Savannah as Oglethorpe who is considered the founder.
5
Juliette Gordon Low's Birthplace
Here we will discuss Juliette Gordon Low, the founder of the girl Scouts, as well as other unconventional female family members, and how they impacted the roles women would play in the future, and will also touch on Julliette's hearing loss.
6
Chippewa Square
Here we will briefly discuss the original site of the Savannah Catholic Church, founded by the Haitian community discussed earlier. We we also discuss Susie King Taylor, a self-freed woman who served as a nurse and teacher during the Civil War, published a memoir, and opened a school for black children just off of Chippewa Square.
7
Madison Square
Here we will stop in front of the Green-Meldrim house and discuss Field Order 15, as issued by General Sherman but formed and negotiated by a group of 20 black pastors and community leaders led by Garrison Frazier, how it was the birth of practical reparation efforts, and why it implementation was prevented.
8
Monterey Square
Here we will discuss Jim Williams, famous from Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, but a prominent Savannah gay man who also began Savannah's entire restoration movement. We will also see the monument of Count Casimir Pulaski, and discuss his impact on the Revolution and the recent discovery that he was likely an intersex person.

Place Franklin
À Franklin Square, nous discuterons de la façon dont Haïti s'est porté volontaire pendant la Révolution américaine, des écoles clandestines qui fonctionnaient à Savannah qui enseignaient l'alphabétisation aux étudiants noirs alors qu'une telle éducation était interdite, la première église baptiste africaine qui abrite la plus ancienne congrégation baptiste africaine du pays, et son rôle dans le chemin de fer clandestin.
122
Marché de la ville
En passant par City Market, nous verrons le Club One, la salle de spectacle à domicile de Lady Chablis, une icône LGBTQ de Savannah.

123

Place Wright
Ici, nous discuterons de l'impact de deux personnages indigènes clés de l'histoire de Savannah : Tomochichi, chef et fondateur de la tribu indigène Yamacraw, et Coosaponakeesa (AKA Mary Musgrove), une femme Creek.

125
Lieu de naissance de Juliette Gordon Low
Ici, nous discuterons de Juliette Gordon Low, la fondatrice des éclaireuses, ainsi que d'autres membres féminins non conventionnels de la famille, et de leur impact sur les rôles que les femmes joueront à l'avenir, et nous aborderons également la perte auditive de Julliette.
126
Place Chippewa
Ici, nous allons brièvement discuter du site d'origine de l'église catholique de Savannah, fondée par la communauté haïtienne évoquée précédemment.

127
Madison Square
Ici, nous nous arrêterons devant la maison Green-Meldrim et discuterons de l'ordre de terrain 15, tel qu'émis par le général Sherman mais formé et négocié par un groupe de 20 pasteurs noirs et dirigeants communautaires dirigés par Garrison Frazier, comment c'était la naissance de la réparation pratique efforts déployés et pourquoi sa mise en œuvre a été empêchée.
128
Place de Monterey
Ici, nous parlerons de Jim Williams, célèbre de Minuit dans le jardin du bien et du mal, mais un homosexuel de premier plan de Savannah qui a également lancé tout le mouvement de restauration de Savannah.

Absolutely incredible tour!!! Sargon is a wealth of knowledge about Savannahs history and was able to easily pivot depending on the question we had at the moment, which we had many. Sargon also delivers the information in a very fun and story like manner so it wasn't just dry and boring information, along with giving as much detail about historical events and places as you could want. Having read about and listened to some of the other tours/tour guides this is a must do tour if you want something interesting, entertaining, and different from the information that you could probably just read in the footnote of a history book! When we make it back to Savannah we'll definitely take this tour again!

Is there a way to leave more stars?! This was such an amazing tour that excided my expectations. It was so refreshing to hear the sides of history that get overlooked and minimize in the name of status quo. Sargon was so insightful and knowledgeable of not just the stories but the whole of each person's life and the grater historical context. There is no greater experience than being shown Savannah by someone who genuinely loves learning and sharing history!

This was an excellent tour. Sargon was a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide who told us about a host of historical figures from Savannah history who did some remarkable things you wouldn't normally hear about. Their lives and stories were both important and colorful. This tour is as engaging and different as Savannah, itself. I'd recommend it to anybody. When planning your day and/or parking your car build in an extra 15 minutes because the tour ends about half a mile from where it starts.
