The tour's highlights include but are not limited to: the Unite Here! Headquarters, where the events of the Uprising took place and where you will get a deep understanding of how the struggle began; Columbus Park, the center of the community in Chinatown; the Five Points area, where the tour will explore the past of Little Italy and some of the notorious gang histories that took place in the area.

This walking tour is an eye-opener, and it is highly recommended for history buffs and anyone curious about the struggles of the working class in America. The story of the Garment Workers' Uprising changed New York City's industrial landscape and opened up opportunities for thousands of immigrant workers in the future.
