**Diverse Perspectives:** We recognize the value of diverse perspectives and understand that our team and customers come from various backgrounds. Our tours begin with land acknowledgement to the Lenape people, the first habitants of NYC, then the city’s infrastructure and development built by enslaved Black Africans, and the importance of immigration and migration that continues to take care of the infrastructure and development of the city.
