Join us for a powerful walking tour that uncovers the often overlooked history of African Americans in Worcester. As we explore one of the city’s historic cemeteries, we’ll visit the gravesites of notable African American residents whose lives and legacies helped shape Worcester’s past and present.
Tombstones may be made of stone, but they tell living stories of resilience, community, and the ongoing struggle for justice. This tour offers a unique opportunity to connect with local history through the voices and lives of those who came before us.
Wear comfortable shoes.
