Repeating every days through March 3, 2019.
12:00pm to 4:00pm ET
Age: All

Location:
New York Historical Society and DiMenna Children’s History Museum
Visit early 20th-century Harlem and chat with its leading residents.
In conjunction with Black Citizenship in the Age of Jim Crow, meet Living Historians portraying Madam C.J. Walker, the women she trained in her salon school, and other movers and shakers, like soldiers from the 369th Regiment, who came to be known as the Harlem Hellfighters in the First World War.
Learn about Walker’s life as a successful businesswoman selling hair products and creating hair styles (she became a millionaire from it!) and explore the life of Vertner W. Tandy, who served with the Harlem Hellfighters and became New York’s first black registered architect.
