Co-Presented by: Ralph Ellison Memorial Committee and Maysles Documentary Center

Drawing on themes of space and immersion, Ralph Ellison Memorial Committee Chair John Reddick will lead a walking tour of Harlem centered around Ralph Ellison’s life at 730 Riverside Drive. By sharing stories, reflections, and histories, and visiting the relevant cultural institutions — Academy of Arts and Letters, Trinity Cemetery, and local establishments — of a vibrant and ever-changing Harlem, participants will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the local geography that has been memorialized through Ralph’s writings and photography.
