About this Event

Join and support The E.M.B.R.A.C.E. Experience, Inc. (501c3) on a Black History Month tour along Los Angeles' Historic Central Avenue and beyond.

This guided experience supports our mission to foster growth and connection through shared moments. Expect conversation, reflection, and space to honor the past while grounding your own well-being and sense of community.

Starting in Willowbrook and Watts, we will explore exhibits highlighting Black leadership, activism, and community impact in Los Angeles. Then onto Central Avenue to learn its powerful story - the heartbeat of Black arts, jazz, business, and social movement in LA. We will enjoy a soul-food meal inside the Historic Dunbar Hotel, a legendary gathering place for Black excellence. Then onwards to Bronzeville, DTLA and return .



Cost of the tour includes transportation, lunch, dessert and entry fees into the location stops we will be making.

Bus leaves promptly at 10am and returns approximately at 2pm
