Celebrate National Latino Heritage Month with a special presentation about the colorful murals and mosaics of Spanish Harlem, which tell us so much about the history, culture, and politics of this neighborhood and its residents. Some murals and mosaics are dedicated to world-famous people such as Che Guevara and Celia Cruz and others honor accomplished citizens of Spanish Harlem, such as the writers Julia de Burgos and Nicholasa Mohr. Come and learn about this little known history of New York and the gifted artists, many of whom were commissioned by the City of New York to incorporate more public art into the community.

Leigh Hallingby is a licensed New York City tour guide who specializes in Harlem, Morningside Heights, and the Upper West Side. Leigh is a retired non-profit librarian who loves doing research about the neighborhoods in which she gives tours and sharing the information about them with attendees. Leigh is a feminist, collector, genealogist, and lover of arts, culture, and travel. After residing in the suburbs of NYC for many years, she now loves living on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
