Secrets of Black Philadelphia - The Map
Dip into our monthlong coverage via this interactive feature
Where can you find the cremated ashes of Colonial-era religious leader Absalom Jones? Or the rowhouse where the great contralto Marian Anderson threw fabulous parties in her finished basement? A long-forgotten USO hall for black World War II servicemen? The YMCA where Wilt Chamberlain and three other Hall of Farmers played as kids?
Those are just four of the hidden gems that our Secrets of Black Philadelphia coverage has brought to light throughout February for Black History Month. For our grand finale, here’s a treasure map to guide you to 20 of them.
Each dot on the map will take you to a report on something in that area of Philadelphia. Hover your mouse over the dots to see where they're going to take you. You can also view the PDF of the page with capsule summaries of the items.
