Fort Greene and Clinton Hill Black Heritage Tour
See more
Your walk takes you through some of Fort Greene and Clinton Hill’s most storied ground: a landmark park with deep ties to Black protest and celebration, a historic church whose walls held secrets of the Underground Railroad, residential blocks where towering figures of American culture once lived and created, independent cultural spaces that continue the tradition today, and Brooklyn’s preeminent performing arts institution and its relationship to Black artists across generations.
The Fort Greene and Clinton Hill neighborhoods have quietly shaped American history, literature, film, and activism . From the abolitionists who turned local churches into way stations on the road to freedom, to the iconic artists and filmmakers who made these blocks their creative home, to the community builders and activists whose work continues today—this is a tour that honors the full, unfiltered arc of Black Brooklyn.
