St. Petersburg Black History Bike Tour is HOT

Demand for the free St. Petersburg Black History Tour has increased this year. People don’t want to miss learning St. Pete’s eye-opening Black history. The tour offers the opportunity to pedal back in time and stand on the ground where the Black history first began. As the history is revealed, participants understand the background to the systemic racism in our city today. Long-time residents and new residents are amazed by how much new information is learned. Led by local historian Josette Green, she shares the history through photos, historic facts, stories and historic events. The tour concludes with a talk by Mr. Elihu Brayboy “Mr. B.” and his lived experience.
