SUMMARY:Walking Tour: Stories of Strength – Honoring Black Milwaukeeans
DESCRIPTION:Explore Milwaukee’s rich Black history on the “Stories of Strength” walking tour, presented by the Forest Home Historic Preservation Association. Since the early 1800s, Black Milwaukeeans have shaped the city’s culture, growth, and identity. The tour highlights influential figures such as Susanna & Sully Watson, early settlers and entrepreneurs; Matilda & Louis Hughes, co-founders of St. Mark AME Church; Catherine & Ezekiel Gillespie, voting rights advocates; George Marshall Clark, a barber and lynching victim; and Ardie & Wilbur Halyard, founders of Columbia Savings & Loan.\nGuided by local historian Sara Wong, this 1.5-mile, 1.5-hour tour takes place at Forest Home Cemetery (2405 West Forest Home Avenue). Dress for the weather, wear comfortable shoes, and enjoy free parking. Proceeds support cemetery preservation.\n
