Philadelphia, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/04/2015 -- Pathfinders Travel Magazine for People of Color began publishing in 1997. Seventeen years later its writers and editors are still traveling the world, researching locations, interviewing individuals, and conveying their stories on the beautiful pages of Pathfinders.
Black History Month is celebrated throughout the year in the pages of Pathfinders Travel Magazine. Pathfinders is offering FREE, the article, "10 Black History Sites for Every American" which demonstrates how Black History is vitally important to the American story.
Some sites, such as the Martin Luther King Memorials in Atlanta and the National Mall in Washington DC, the Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, or the Motown Historical Museum in Detroit, are well known. While others such as the President's House in Philadelphia or Drayton Hall in South Carolina, are lesser known, but equally significant to our nation's history.
This articles appeals to a wide range of multi-cultural interests and viewpoints while remaining true to Pathfinders' core audience of African Americans who are passionate about heritage and cultural tourism.
Pathfinders Travel has written about Black Paris and the original Black Diva darling, Josephine Baker. Editors traveled to South Africa for a first-hand look at life there after apartheid. They even drove down the once infamous roads of Alabama and Mississippi to see first-hand tourism efforts to welcome African Americans to historic sites in places like Selma and Birmingham.
