This Saturday outing brings the spirit of a Sunday gospel service to a more convenient day of the week, opening with a full hour of live gospel music at the historic Mount Olivet Baptist Church. From there, a local guide leads a walk through the Mount Morris Historic District and 125th Street, pointing out landmarks like the Apollo Theater, Hotel Theresa, and Marcus Garvey Park along the way.

The afternoon wraps with brunch at a local Harlem restaurant, giving the group a chance to unwind and talk over everything they just experienced. It's a fitting introduction to Harlem's musical and cultural heritage for anyone who'd rather skip the early Sunday start.
