Harlem & The Rise Of Gospel Music Walking Tour

Przegląd
The tour is conducted by a New York City licensed tour guide. We offer this tour in French or English. Our tour guides are native speakers if each languages. In this tour we will visit 9 landmark sites which include the first Black Episcopal, Methodist, Pentecostal, and Baptist churches. We will examine their history, their leaders, and their role in the anti-slavery movement as well as the civil rights movement. This tour also looks at the role of Gospel music in the history of the Black church. We will study its growth from the ring shout (the foundation of all African American music), to the Spirituals, the role of the Protestant hymnals, ending with what became known as Gospel Blues, today simply called Gospel music. The tour ends with a visit to a church service where we will listen to a live Gospel choir, it is not a concert but a real church service.

Great experience with Melton. He’s a history teacher and gave a great tour that was very informative on a lot of cultural, and social levels while covering the history of Gospel music & the black church. Very honest and real yet delivered in a way that Europeans and other foreign visitors get a great overview. And fun NY style walking. Beautiful to see Strivers Row! Highly recommend- a bit early in the morning but well worth it. The service at Bethel was fantastic with great music.

Taking a tour about gospel music with a singer was a real treat. Kaissa gave us a fantastic story about the Black music, focusing on Harlem and the gospel. Worth every penny, we felt enriched.
