The Island
Alison Taggart-Barone/Parks Conservancy
Join us on June 19 at 3:50 PM for a special walking tour celebrating Juneteenth. While it marks the day in 1865 when the last of the enslaved people in Texas were freed under the Emancipation Proclamation, the holiday gives us the opportunity to reflect on the meaning of freedom in the United States. During this walking tour, learn about the stories of Black men on Alcatraz and their efforts to secure their own freedom.
The tour is free and does not require a reservation. However, you must purchase a ferry ticket to the island. For this program, we recommend taking the 3:20 PM ferry. To purchase ferry tickets, visit the Alcatraz City Cruises website.
