Ms. Williams has been creating cultural programs for arts institutions for over 7 years and conceived the idea of the company in 2007 with the aim to create stronger links between cultural institutions, unique businesses and community organizations.

During this tour visitors will stroll amongst the beautiful architecture of downtown Manhattan. They will learn about the establishment of New York City by the Dutch and British and the immense contribution of historic heroes of the African American community and their relationship to historic greats such as George Washington and Alexander Hamilton.

They will visit cultural arts sites such as the Apollo Theater and Malcolm Shabazz Harlem Market and learn about the soul music, arts and culture of the city.
