Join historian Terrell L Armistead in a special tour along the Bronx River at West Farms Rapids as they share the ecological stories and histories of  Bronx River including highlighting those that built the Bronx and supported its development through history. This tour is led in the likeness of Morgan Powell, a founding member of the Bronx River Restoration and an advocate for the reclamation of the Bronx River. His research has been fundamental in sharing the lesser known histories of the Black and Brown Bronxites and their contribution to the eco-cultural history of NYC. You can read more of these histories can be found in detail in his blog called the Bronx Sankofa.

Meetup location: West Farms Rapids (1087 E Tremont Ave, Bronx NY) adjacent to the Bronx River Art Center’s entrance.
