Walking invites time for ideas; sharing ideas clarifies experience. Once a week, we sit down with special guests for a free-flowing session of debriefing and perspective sharing. Among the various forms of documentation for “Total Clarity,” we believe conversation best captures immediacy and inspiration. The streets of New York tell a story and we will do our best to report it.

We're back in Brooklyn for the month of May and this week we're doing something we've yet to do this project: basing a large portion of our marathon route off an existing tour. It's an educational program called 'In Pursuit of Freedom,' developed to highlight the rich history of the Brooklyn abolitionist movement. Areas visited this week include DUMBO, Downtown Brooklyn, Brooklyn Heights and the Weeksville section of Crown Heights. 'In Pursuit of Freedom' was developed by the Brooklyn Historical Society, the Irondale Ensemble Project and the Weeksville Heritage Center.
