Harlem Gospel Tour Information

Description

Join us on a Sunday morning in the Black capital of the world and learn about Harlem, its start as a rural Dutch community, its transformation into a summer retreat for New York's most prominent families, how it then became a Mecca for African American writers and artists at the turn of the century, to its troubled past during the 1960's and 1970's and its present day community brimming with pride and reveling in its new renaissance. Along the way you will see famous sights and landmarks such as St. John the Divine, Columbia University, City College, Morning Side Heights, the Morris Jumel Mansion, Sylvan Terrace, Strivers Row and Sugar Hill, St. Nicholas Avenue, where Duke Ellington lived and the famed 125th street, Harlem USA, the Cotton Club, and the Apollo Theater, the Schomburg Center for research in Black Culture. Then, join a local congregation for the Sunday worship service and experience the soul stirring power of Gospel music.

Proper dress is required to attend the church service: no shorts or tank tops will be accepted.
