Hey Lawrence Savannah is one of Americas oldest cities, with tons of historical landmarks that have helped shaped black history and one way to see to see sites a public bus. I got a firsthand look at how transit known as cat is helping locals and tourists explore just in time for black history month. Take a look im in Savannah Georgia at a bus station, and I know this may not be the location where you you would think I would learn black history, but this is a means of transportation. Im ready to take you on the

Savannah black history. Tour lets get moving. So tell me a little bit about why you guys decided to do this. As you know, February is black history month. So what better way to celebrate some of the amazing black history landmark? That is, we have here in Savannah than by creating a self guided tour than transit bus. His view is to complicate history, you had white masters and you had the slave corridors. Free african Americans were actually afforded the opportunity to be buried, wow founded by some of savannahs. First american entrepreneurs. The history is rich, and I think this is our first stop right. This is our first stop. This is the first African Baptist Church had beginnings and the congregation took money that they could have used to purchase freedom and decide today build a

sanctuary to God theres holes in the grounds theres tunnels that go to Savannah River. When you look at the holes, the finish floor and the tunnels, we know it must have been part of an underground railroad. Wow. Take me through a journey. These are the new pews. They were in one thousand nine hundred and one you said original pews in the back its like markings right here. Yes, sir, this is really incredible kind of hard to leave the church to go to another spot, but here we are at at the Savannah ART Museum within one country. You could have several different cultures: several different languages made of Tercata textiles, wood,

its used in annual ceremony by people in Nigeria in honoring ancestors. This comes from Cameroon. This shows incorporated into the object itself. We are proud just because black history month, isnt just one month for us its a year round celebration, please enter from the front door. Our next stop is Beach Institute, one of the first schools to educate african Americans in the city of Savannah back in 1800s its a flagship museum that brings to life the african american history and culture here in Savannah. This is a jewel in our community and like any treasure, it needs to be lifted up and needs to be cherished and need to be celebrated. Black history is american history. We must tell our story. We must keep those stories alive. We went to a tour about our history,

so Savannah is the great place to come to learn all about the journey of african american life of african american history. Here in America, now Ainsley you can get more info on the tour at cat dot. Org she put NIT a nutshell. Black history is mean american history. I was fascinated in black church where people could have bought their freedom and instead build a sanctuary. They knew that underneath there was a river going to the under ground railroad and to get their way to freedom, its an amazing story, Ainsley that was fascinating. We were amazed by that. Thank you so much for that tour. It was just we do need to keep the stories alive. I appreciate you doing this for
