The Financial District of Manhattan is the most historically significant place in the country, with dozens of historical sites where our nation - and the industrial world - were formed. We walk the streets, unravelling the real story of how The United States, New York City, and Manhattan gained control of the industrial world.
Starting from the beginning, we tell it like it really was, beyond the myths, mystery, and propaganda, visiting the places where our history was made. This tour is given from a humanist perspective, with the notion that all people are created equal, and are deserving of equal rights and access to opportunity. It's designed for open-minded, intelligent people who want to deepen their understanding of our tumultuous history.
