PHT tells forgotten stories of everyday people who came together against tremendous odds to make changes which impact all of us today. We partner with community-based organizations that continue that legacy in New York City with a portion of every ticket going to our partner organizations.
Women, immigrants, youth, people of color, queer people, artists, intellectuals and working people all have histories of standing up against oppression, and building institutions and movements that made improvements for others as well. We walk the streets to animate those stories and reveal the evidence of historic events and social movements sitting in plain sight.
