Members phkrause Posted February 27 Members Share Posted February 27 The "Say Their Names Cemetery" in Minneapolis was created to honor George Floyd and other Black men and women who died at the hands of police brutality. Photo: Brandon Bell/Getty Images Plazas where enslaved people were once bought and sold and spots where civil rights marchers were beaten have become sought-out destinations for visitors, Axios' Steph Solis and Russell Contreras write. 🧳 Why it matters: The rise in Black heritage tourism is helping breathe new life into sites that had been forgotten or abandoned — and giving new generations a way to pay homage to those who fought for social justice. 🔎 Once-overlooked places like the community of Africatown in Mobile, Alabama, have become a must-visit for Black heritage tourists. Descendants of the Clotilda — the last known U.S. slave ship to bring captives from Africa — now offer "The Africatown Experience Boat Tour" every month. Florida has located civil rights sites in the state for visitors. Mississippi has mapped the Blues Trail, to be explored with a Spotify playlist, and advocates in Texas are working to locate sites linked to the Underground Railroad to Mexico. The National Park Service lists more than 80 sites connected to the traditional Underground Railroad that people can visit.
