Downtown Raleigh Guided African American History Tour

The Downtown Raleigh Guided African American History Tour is a one-hour walking program that explores the contributions of Black educators, leaders, and scientists in our city. Led by a local historian, the route takes you through key downtown sites to share the stories behind Raleigh's development. This free event is best suited for upper elementary students, teens, and adults who can comfortably walk and listen for an hour. Since the tour moves through various outdoor locations, you will want to bring water bottles, wear comfortable walking shoes, and push a stroller if you have younger siblings along. It is a smart addition to your weekend plans because it offers a bite-sized, educational outdoor activity that fits easily between lunch and dinner.
