A Feminist Walk Through Harlem, Celebrating Remarkable Women: A Virtual Tour with Leigh Hallingby
In honor of the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage in the United States, please join us for a virtual walk through both African American Harlem and Spanish Harlem.
We will stop at the places where accomplished women, ranging from iconic to not so familiar, are honored. Stops include named buildings, murals and mosaics, plaques on the sidewalk, and commemorative street corners. And the women range from A’Lelia Walker to Nicholasa Mohr to Zora Neale Hurston. The tour is about 50 minutes with slides and live commentary, followed by Q&A.

After a long and rewarding career as a non-profit librarian, Leigh now loves being a tour guide and has developed a special interest in showing the Audubon Mural projects in Washington Heights, NY.
