Niagara Falls, the National Memorial for Peace and Justice, and the Living Tradition of Sweet Grass Basket Weaving

This week on Traveling Culturati, here is this week’s Traveling Culturati podcast: we journey through powerful stories of resistance, remembrance, and cultural preservation, from the Niagara Falls Underground Railroad Heritage Center with Saladin Allah, where the roar of the falls echoes the courage of freedom seekers, to a deeper exploration of Niagara Falls Black history with Lezlie Harper, connecting that legacy to the sacred ground of the National Memorial for Peace and Justice with Tera DuVernay.

We then travel south to the coastal traditions of the Lowcountry with Corey Alston, where the art of Sweet Grass Basket Weaving carries generations of Gullah Geechee history in every stitch. This episode flows through stories of movement, memory, and living heritage, reminding us that travel isn’t just about places, it’s about the people and traditions that shape them.

We’ll also have Ja’Vonne's Travel Minute and The Culture Report featuring host and travel pro Ja’Vonne Harley!
