Virtual Tenement Tour: Union of Hope - Video

What was daily life like for a Black tenement family in the 1860s? Enjoy a virtual tour of the tenement home of Joseph and Rachel Moore, recreated for the Museum’s 'A Union of Hope: 1869' exhibit.

See spaces and objects up close as we discuss where the Moores lived, worked, played, and worshipped, and how their home can help us understand the tight-knit community of African Americans in post-Civil New York.
