Sarah's Fire Historical Walking Tour in New York City
Overview
Our walks have won awards for culture, art, and history. We combine aesthetics, scholarship, and wellness to build compelling walks that have been called "enlightening", "transformative", and "haunting". Sarah's Fire is the second of five in the core stories in a series. We begin in 1664 in the small town known as Land of the Blacks on day two of British New York. Sarah’s Fire is a tale set on the southern tip of the island Manhattan that is home to both free and enslaved Black people. This walking tour illustrates the peculiar universe of urban slavery in a port city with deep ties to the sugar plantations of the West Indies. A key persona in this story is an enslaved woman named Sarah who is one of 29 people that participate in the first militarized Black rebellion on the island of Manhattan on April 6 1712.
