Richmond Hill, Featuring Guyanese Liberty Avenue

Immigrants from Guyana (in South America) are a fascinating mix of African, South Asian, Caribbean and British culture. Now they are adapting to New York. We’ll view much of their commercial strip, a thriving segment of Liberty Avenue in South Richmond Hill. Then we’ll ascend Richmond Hill and explore transportation influences. Meet at NE corner of 104 St/Liberty Ave (Lefferts Blvd A train to 104 Street: do not take Rockaway A). Fees are $13.00 for non-members, $10.00 for members and $8.00 for seniors and students.
