2 години | Пішохідна екскурсія з історії афроамериканців Портленда

Огляд
Trace the steps of the Black Portlanders who moved our city, state, and country closer to the ideals of freedom, democracy, opportunity, and equality. Maine’s earliest settlements couldn’t have existed without Black labor, skill, and insight. You'll meet the Black Yankees who founded Maine communities, overturned slavery statewide, drove our maritime industries, gained political influence, crossed color boundaries, and expanded Mainers’ rights in the modern era.

Stepping on granite cobblestones crooked with age — that once saw footfalls from national heroes like Frederick Douglass — you’ll pass storefronts once home to Black-owned barbershops where abolitionists whispered intelligence to Underground Railroad conductors.

Enjoy 2 hours of entertaining and enlightening historical narration over a 1.5-mile route. Owner and guide, Dugan Murphy, dug through the archives to present an amazing constellation of stories left out of most tours. TripAdvisor named him Portland's #1 guide!

This tour was highly informative and very well done. Dugan was an awesome guide and not only knows black history, but he is very interested in preserving the legacies of many of the historical figures he references. Definitely recommend!

The Black Portlanders I talk about on this tour deserve more recognition than they get, so I've been working with local teachers on that. I'm glad you were able to learn about them in my tour. Thanks for posting a review!

We really enjoyed this tour. We learned so much about the role that Black Portlanders played in shaping the history of the nation and other parts of the World. Portland has connections to Susan Rice, a Tuskegee Airman, the woman who was the driving force behind the Pell Grant, and many more notable historical figures. Dugan, our tour guide was knowledgeable, fun, and had a genuine desire to highlight the African-American history of Portland. This is a worthwhile tour for all.
