Black History Urban Navigation

During the colonial and post-revolutionary eras, Philadelphia was home to the country's largest and wealthiest population of free Black folks.

Working in teams, participants problem-solve and explore the neighborhood of Independence National Park while they learn the rich African-American history of Philadelphia. For educators looking for a wrap-around classroom unit, Journey On provides additional lessons in history and geography.
