Highly Recommended

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
If you’re ever visiting NYC, I highly recommend taking Inside Out Tours’ ‘the Slavery and Underground Railroad Walking Tour’ which is one of the tours featured in HOW THE WORD WAS PASSED. I learned a ton and it was really well done.

So glad I took this tour. Real history is revealed and the end of the tour was so moving to me. I would highly recommend this to people who want to learn some things that were not taught to you in school.
