Harvard & Legacy of Slavery

STQRY Apps

About this app

The Harvard & the Legacy of Slavery: Walking Tour Experience explores Harvard University’s entanglements with the institution of slavery through a 10-stop walking tour in Cambridge, MA. The stops illuminate this lesser-known part of Harvard’s history and elevate the stories of Black women and men whose resistance and leadership have shaped the University. In addition to the tour itself, the app offers an opportunity to reflect on the history presented through a selection of curated art. We welcome visitors from all walks of life to learn more about the Harvard & the Legacy initiative and how the history and legacy of enslavement can be traced in our physical environment.
