Sign up for Black Liberation Walking Tour’s Final Public Tour of the Year!
On Saturday, October 21st, Dave Peters of the West Oakland Cultural Action Network (WOCAN) will be leading the final public Black Liberation Walking Tour of the 2023 season. Come learn about multi-generational Black history and culture in Oakland’s historic Hoover-Foster neighborhood. This guided walking tour uses oral histories to explore the lives, art, and culture of long-time residents, historical figures, and rapidly disappearing former Black cultural spaces.
In 2021, to help WOCAN launch the BLWT, EBALDC provided seed funding and technical assistance from our Creative Community Development team. TA included connecting WOCAN to Bay Area Mural Project to co-create a 3-story mural (see above) specifically for the tour. This walking tour has been deemed by Conde Nast Traveler as one of six “standout Black History Tours in the U.S.”
Register today for the Saturday 10/21 tour! (Private group tours may still be booked, but the next public tour will pick up again in February 2024 during Black History Month.)
