from the event description: Lower Manhattan Slavery in New York Walking Tour, May 22, 2009
Interested teachers are invited to bring their classes for the FREE two hour
Lower Manhattan Slavery in New York Walking Tour
that starts at 1 Police Plaza at 11 AM on May
22, 2009. At each site along the tour route, students from Law, Government, and
Community Service High School will be performing and presenting historical information.
Classes are encouraged to make posters and banners about slavery in New York to carry
and display along the tour route.
• Distributed by African American History and United States History students from Law, Government and
Community Service Magnet High School, Cambria Heights, Queens.
• Based on the New York and Slavery: Complicity and Resistance curriculum guide (http://www.nyscss.org).
• Other than at the colonial era African American Burial Ground, which was uncovered during excavations for a
federal office building in 1991, these sites, and slavery in New York in general, have been erased from
historical memory. There is not even an historical marker at the South Street Seaport in the financial district of
Manhattan where enslaved Africans were traded in the 17th century and were illegal slaving expeditions were
planned and financed up until the time of the American Civil War.
• For more information, contact Dr. Alan Singer, Department of Curriculum and Teaching, Hofstra University, at
516-463-5853 or catajs@hofstra.edu or Michael Pezone at zenmap@aol.com.
