Great Ladies of the Lower East Side: Heroines, Balabustas, and Yiddisha Mammas! A Special Mother’s Day Walking Tour

NEW TOUR! We begin this special Mother’s Day walking tour with a drink at the historic dining room in The Henry Street Settlement, where Lillian D. Wald hosted distinguished guests ranging from President Theodore Roosevelt; W.E.B. Du Bois; and delegates of The National Negro Conference (after several NYC restaurants refused to accommodate the interracial group).

Then we will walk the streets of the Lower East Side celebrating the lives of women: ordinary, unsung heroines who battled to raise their families and make a life in the New World, as well as some more famous inspiring women who played leading social, political and artistic roles in the neighborhood during the early 20th century. Examine how these women lived and how they each came to effect change in New York City and beyond.
