NEW Walk the streets of Old City and learn about the often-overlooked legacies of its trailblazing Black and women citizens. You’ll hear stories about famous figures like Betsy Ross, wealthy sailmaker James Forten and the brilliant Forten women who shaped the early abolitionist movement. From early leaders like Hannah Callowhill Penn to legendary figures like Alice of Dunk’s Ferry, you’ll see the birthplace of America through new eyes (see Black Founders in Philadelphia lecture 10/06.)
