Date: 9/2/21. Tour: Spanish Harlem
Post-hurricane subway delays forced a late start to our tour; however Leigh was accommodating and still gave us the full tour. Leigh’s walk through the murals of Spanish Harlem weaves a story of Latin immigrants (Puerto Rican, Cuban, etc) melding into their new city far from their tropical home. Leigh’s research is deep and leaves one with a new understanding of the deep culture of El Barrio. Highly recommended! -Anne from Mexico
