Fells Point Black History Tour

We will meet at a minority owned restaurant for guests to get refreshments and use facilities before embarking on an invigorating and stimulating tour of the city. Focusing on the social justice and black history of the area known as Fells Point, this guided tour, will give facts about the historic impact this area has had on the city and the nation. The information provided on this tour has been researched from the Baltimore city archives, Maryland center of history and culture and the Enoch Pratt free library. Some of the stops on this tour include old and new Broadway Market, Happy Alley (the house where Frederick Douglass started to learn how to read), Billie Holiday Row, Keystone Korner, and Frederick-Myers Maritime Park. Our guests will walk away with a new perspective on the black history in Baltimore and the importance of a well-rounded understanding of history in this nation.
