Neighborhood Stories A Spit Spreads Death Virtual Tour of South Street West
How did the influenza pandemic of 1918-19 affect Philadelphia’s neighborhoods? Join the Mütter Museum and Hidden City Philadelphia for a virtual tour that loops around South Street west of Broad and focuses on the Black community a century ago, from longtime residents to recent migrants from the South. We’ll learn about churches, clubhouses, hospitals, and rowhouses as we explore life before, during, and after the influenza pandemic that killed more than 17,500 Philadelphians in 1918-19.
Major support for Spit Spreads Death has been provided by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage and the Institute of Museum and Library Services, with additional support from the Groff Family Memorial Trust and the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, a state agency funded by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

I've walked/driven past these buildings hundreds of times and never knew any of this. Do the NE!!
