Our tour guide, Curator Marilyn Kushner, a scholar, and a historian, talked about the changes that emerged in Harlem, as a result of Brathwaite, his family, and a small circle of talented friends. Brathwaite’s son Kwame S. Brathwaite graduated from Dalton in 1992.

Following the tour, we enjoyed a relaxing and enjoyable lunch at Storico Restaurant. Hope you will join us on our next adventure.
