This tour may not change your life but it will most certainly change your view of African American history. The tour is expertly told by an attorney who has researched the archives and the law to bring this untold story to life. Philadelphia's history of black slaves and black freeman is conveyed in a thought provoking two hour walking tour with an interesting array of places, plaques and people. This is a great tour and one we whole heartily recommend.
