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!

The tour guide's depth of knowledge about Maine and passion for Portland's history made this tour worthwhile and enjoyable. If you think of Maine as the whitest state, and that is all you need to know, be prepared to learn a lot!

The depth and breath of Portland's Black history is simply amazing and I'm so happy to have been able to share some of it with you. I hope you can return for the Women's History Tour or the Hidden Histories Tour!
