This tour focuses on important moments in the city's history and juxtapose it to the lives of various ethnicities. Beginning with a brief glimpse at the lives of the original inhabitants of Coaquannock (Philadelphia) followed up with the creation of William Penn's "green country towne". Jumping forward two years after Penn's arrival, we explore both slavery and it's aftermath both in and around Philadelphia. As we approach modern times we explore the circumstances and roles other ethnic communities had in creating Philadelphia. Some of the topics covered: Lenape (Delaware) Tribe - William Penn/Quakers - First Slaves - Black Founding Fathers (Liberty Bell/Independence Mall photo stop) - Society Hill/Washington Square - Chinatown - Before and After Civil War - Industrial Revolution/Great Migration - Civil Rights/Race Riots - Current Events
-Starting in Penn's Landing we will trace the history of the city while making stops at: George Washington's Presidential Home, Carpenter's Hall, Society Hill, Chinatown, Old Southwark, Penn's Landing, and wrap up at Reading Terminal for lunch.
