# Event Details - **Event Name**: African American Heritage Walking Tour of Historic Southeast Lancaster - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 07 Aug, 2026 at 05:30 pm – Fri, 07 Aug, 2026 at 07:30 pm - **Event Description**: Join Strong Towns Lancaster for a historical walking tour of African American history and urban renewal in southeast Lancaster, PA.About this EventThe Southeast Area tour highlights that liberation is up to African Americans, whose experiences represent a complex connection to their past—both the trauma of enslavement and the resilience of their heritage.This tour brings to life the triumph of the African American community as it built a culture of service, faith, and social activism, alongside the tragedy of Urban Renewal, which saw the demolition of 14 square blocks of thriving businesses, churches, and civic associations.The fabric of the community was ruptured as individual homes were replaced with public housing and vibrant community spaces were obliterated. This tour traces the life stream and economic castration of that community, which was attacked by the policy of Urban Renewal, but which has not been forgotten or erased.This tour is led by Nelson Polite, Jr., President of the African American Historical Society of South Central Pennsylvania and Member of the City of Lancaster Planning Commission. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/lancaster/african-american-heritage-walking-tour-of-historic-southeast-lancaster/100001989675411717 - **Event Categories**: fitness - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 2 hours - Location: Crispus Attucks Community Center - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 7.18, max: 19.98, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Lancaster - **state**: PA - **country**: United States - **location**: Crispus Attucks Community Center - **lat**: 40.0344033 - **long**: -76.3023831 - **full address**: Crispus Attucks Community Center, 407 Howard Avenue, Lancaster, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: African American Heritage Walking Tour of Historic Southeast Lancaster - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/b2d9578e7e0cdf64a580746878714814c9110bebcdf9f7dd0c52fe54a3dfefec-rimg-w1200-h600-dce6d0b1-gmir.jpg?v=1778938325 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is African American Heritage Walking Tour of Historic Southeast Lancaster being held? - **A:** African American Heritage Walking Tour of Historic Southeast Lancaster takes place on Fri, 07 Aug, 2026 at 05:30 pm to Fri, 07 Aug, 2026 at 07:30 pm at Crispus Attucks Community Center, 407 Howard Avenue, Lancaster, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing African American Heritage Walking Tour of Historic Southeast Lancaster? - **A:** African American Heritage Walking Tour of Historic Southeast Lancaster is organized by Strong Towns Lancaster. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "African American Heritage Walking Tour of Historic Southeast Lancaster", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/b2d9578e7e0cdf64a580746878714814c9110bebcdf9f7dd0c52fe54a3dfefec-rimg-w1200-h600-dce6d0b1-gmir.jpg?v=1778938325", "startDate": "2026-08-07", "endDate": "2026-08-07", "url": "https://allevents.in/lancaster/african-american-heritage-walking-tour-of-historic-southeast-lancaster/100001989675411717", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Crispus Attucks Community Center", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "407 Howard Avenue", "postalCode": "17602", "addressLocality": "Lancaster", "addressRegion": "PA", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "40.0344033", "longitude": "-76.3023831" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Join Strong Towns Lancaster for a historical walking tour of African American history and urban renewal in southeast Lancaster, PA.", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-09-08", "availabilityEnds": "2026-08-07", "validFrom": "2026-09-08", "lowPrice": "7.18", "highPrice": "19.98", "price": "7.18", "url": "https://allevents.in/lancaster/african-american-heritage-walking-tour-of-historic-southeast-lancaster/100001989675411717" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-09-08", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-09-08", "url": "https://allevents.in/lancaster/african-american-heritage-walking-tour-of-historic-southeast-lancaster/100001989675411717", "price": "19.98", "name": "Adult" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-09-08", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-09-08", "url": "https://allevents.in/lancaster/african-american-heritage-walking-tour-of-historic-southeast-lancaster/100001989675411717", "price": "12.51", "name": "Senior (65+)" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-09-08", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-09-08", "url": "https://allevents.in/lancaster/african-american-heritage-walking-tour-of-historic-southeast-lancaster/100001989675411717", "price": "7.18", "name": "Students (6-18)" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Strong Towns Lancaster", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/strong-towns-lancaster/27783180", "description": "We are Lancaster, PA’s local Strong Towns chapter.
