Event Registration

This in-person guided walking experience invites participants to uncover the herstory of Weeksville and the often-overlooked role Black women played in building, sustaining, and protecting one of the largest free Black communities in pre-Civil War America. Moving through historic and present-day sites in Bedford-Stuyvesant and Crown Heights, participants will encounter locations that mark Black women’s labor, care, and leadership that made the community possible. Stops include the Weeksville Heritage Center, the Hunterfly Road Houses, and former sites of schools and churches. Attendees should wear comfortable walking shoes, bring water, and are encouraged to bring a camera.
