The Taste of Freedom Community Benefit Program, fiscally sponsored by Fiscal Sponsorship Allies (EIN 85-0839183), exists for a simple reason:
History is being lost—not from books, but from places.
We preserve and activate African American history through gamified, immersive walking, bus, Inner Harbor boat tour experiences and museum exhibitions—paired with Immersive 3D Virtual Tours (Digital Twins) that ensures these stories can be experienced anywhere.
This is not about tours.
It’s about making sure that the stories of reclaimed places, spaces—and the African Americans who shaped them—are not erased by time, development, or disconnection.
Taste of Freedom Tours is raising philanthropic support to provide no-cost immersive heritage experiences for Baltimore City youth and adults through a series of walking, bus, and Inner Harbor boat tours rooted in American history.
Ticket sales from our innovative tours, tax-deductible corporate sponsorships and donations will remove financial barriers and ensure that residents—particularly those from historically underserved communities—can engage directly with the places, stories, and decisions that shaped the nation.
Few maritime landscapes in the world have such compelling historical figures so closely associated with a legacy of family, freedom, community, faith, leadership, the pursuit of liberty, equality, justice, self-determination, resilience, fortitude and knowledge of natural maritime ecosystems as Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass and Nicholas "Nick" Biddle.
“While others show you where history happened…we let you step inside it.”
A September 17th virtual hybrid experience that focuses on the most recent research about the 1850 Fugitive Slave Act, Thomas Smallwood and Charles Torrey, Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass, Nathanial "Nace" Hopkins, Nicholas "Nick" Biddle, Robert Smalls, Colonel William Birney and the 165th anniversary of the Civil War. This conference invites archaeologists, historians, students, educators, genealogists, researchers, creators and descendent community members to share and compare history research methods, interpretation, curriculum ideas, and creative artistic expressions with a growing community of American History enthusiasts.
Our 2026 theme is "The Fight For Freedom and Citizenship: The Constitution. The Law. Then and Now."
