Description

Visit a place that is prominent in American culture, the epicenter of the Harlem Renaissance, a period of cultural and artistic creativity among African Americans in the early 20th century.
We will walk through the cinematic, historical, and musical Harlem: 1. Filming location (The Royal Tenenbaums House), starring actors Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller, the same actors from Night at the Museum. Nominated for an Oscar.

2. We will arrive at the house museum of one of the founding fathers, Alexander Hamilton, abolitionist and right-hand man of George Washington, creator of the currency (dollar), where we will learn about the birth of the United States. 3. Visit to the St. Nicholas Historic District, known as "Striver's Row." It is a national historic district consisting of houses designed by three architectural firms and built between 1891 and 1893 by developer David H. King Jr. These houses are collectively recognized as jewels of New York architecture. 4. Tour of the Abyssinian Baptist Church and Mother AME Zion Church (visit only, no service).

7. Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Statue and Building: In several episodes of the FX American comedy-drama series Rescue Me, the building is used several times as the fictional headquarters of the fire department. Stories like those of Adam Clayton Powell contributed to African American rights such as the right to vote beginning in 1963.

8. Columbia University is the last stop on the tour, where we will visit the gift and souvenir shop. It is the most prestigious university in New York City, ranked number 10 among the best universities in the world. It has been the setting for hundreds of films, among the most notable are Ghostbusters, Spiderman, and Gossip Girl. Notable alumni include Alexander Hamilton, Warren Buffet (one of the richest men in the world), former President Barack Obama, and Bill Gates' daughter, Jennifer Katharine Gates, who recently graduated. 9.
