Below, listen and learn about the 11th Annual Dollar fo’ Dollar Culture and History Tour from Ayesha Morris and Jahweh David, and myself DaraMonifah Cooper, the three founding members of the Dollar fo’ Dollar Culture and History Tour, Inc. as they share the tour’s history, expected activities, partnering artists, and more.
Walking, drumming and dancing on Saturday, September 24, 2016 on the streets of Charlotte Amalie and Savan, the Dollar fo’ Dollar Culture and History Tour honors, celebrates and commemorates Virgin Islands history. This Monday, September 12, will be the 124th anniversary of the coal workers strike who dances, drummed and peacefully protested in order to get their proper wages. The Coal Workers strike came on the heels of St. John’s 1733 revolution and St. Croix’s 1878 Contract Day Fireburn.
New this year, the tour will include stops at the houses of actual Coal Workers form the period in the Savan neighborhood discovered through research by Ayesha Morris in the 1880 and 1901 census records at the Caribbean Genealogy Library.
