Every Charlotte visitor hears the city was named for a queen. This walking tour asks the deeper question — who was she, and who really built the city that took her name? The Queen’s City Black Legacy Walking Tour answers with power and grace, rated 4.97 stars by its 32 guests.
The walk explores the story of the queen of African and mixed heritage behind the city’s name, then stands on the ground of Brooklyn — once a thriving, self-sufficient Black neighborhood — and traces how African Americans were critical in building Charlotte and the wealth tied to it. It is history the standard tours leave out, told where it happened.
Thoughtful, eye-opening and essential, it reframes everything else you will see in the Queen City. From $26 per person, it may be the most important walk you take in Charlotte.
