Participants will be guided through the streets of historic Savannah, GA and learn about communities that fled oppression in other parts of the world only to find a sanctuary in Savannah.

Join us to learn more about the history of the Native Americans, the Sephardic Jewish Community, the French, the Georgia Salzburgers, the Irish and the African Americans and how they struggled and endeavored, making Savannah the diverse melting pot that it is today.

Cost: $15 per person
