POSTPONED – Race and Racism in Cincinnati Bus Tour
April 5, 2020 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
**Postponed due to public health concerns. More information to come.**
**TICKETS REQUIRED**
Our 2 hour tour will travel throughout Cincinnati, stopping at 6 sites of racial significance. Volunteer tour guides will provide participants with relevant knowledge and themes for further reflection.
The perspective of the tour derives from a legacy of people’s history, or “history from below”. This type of history places storytelling authority in the hands of common people rather than political leaders or other mainstream narrative leaders who have typically crafted a singular, common narrative to benefit their agenda.
Given that the collaborators on this project are not trained historians but interested citizens, the information we’ll share is our attempt to bring more visibility to history that is usually unseen both in our city’s landscape and in our textbooks.
