February is Black History Month and in honor of Seattle’s diverse history, Seattle’s new Black & Tan Hall has created a free multimedia tour and a new community space. The audio tour highlights places of interest in Seattle’s rich Black history and gives a unique way to look back on the past of Seattle’s Jackson Street. Let’s check it out.
The tour is known as The Green Book Tour, paying homage to The Green Book, an African American travel guide that helped Black travelers adventure safely. Seattle’s Green Book Tour was created by the Black & Tan Hall which is opening as a values-driven cultural hub later this March. That means you can enjoy a grand reopening party and check out the new tour in one go.
