The Hidden History of Black Boston with Joel Mackall - - Join us to learn Boston's 400-year African-American history! We will uncover the rich narratives of neighborhoods and pivotal sites, events, and figures from the eras of Faneuil Hall and Long Wharf, which marked Boston's connection to the Atlantic world, all the way to the vibrant Black communities that flourished in Beacon Hill in the early republic, and the South End and Roxbury in the early 20th century. Our presentation is built on engagement and responsiveness - moving at a pace that allows for in-depth exploration and encourages participant interaction. We cover themes of Black organization and community formation across activism, religion, civil rights, and economics, connecting historical events to contemporary challenges. The big idea? It's a conversation, and we definitely welcome and encourage questions.
