Charlotte’s Lost Slavery History – Self‑Guided Walking Tour

📍 Walk the past. Honor the truth.

Discover Charlotte's Lost Slavery History, a powerful self-guided walking tour created as a Girl Scout Gold Award project with the Hornets' Nest Council. Using this digital Google map, this tour highlights 18 Uptown Charlotte sites connected to the lives, labor, and experiences of enslaved people.
Explore the places where enslaved individuals lived, worked, resisted, and—tragically—were sold. This reflective, self‑paced experience offers a meaningful way to deepen your understanding of Charlotte’s early African American history during the 2026 NCAAHGS Conference weekend.
