This is a walk from the Savannah riverfront to Forsyth Park, passing the African American Monument, a statue of an emancipated family with broken chains at their feet, facing the river and Africa. It also visits John Sousakis Riverfront Plaza, where the Georgia Queen paddle-wheel riverboat docks, and River Street, a walkable strip of restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and gift shops. A tribute to Florence Martus, who waved to ships from Cockspur Island lighthouse for decades, is also on the way, and ships still sound their horns in her honor. The route includes Savannah's oldest surviving building.
