Our students will be documenting his civil rights legacy for our library & youtube channel. The #BostonRedline85 campaign is designed to create awareness around the systemic racism built into the infrastructure in Boston and the effects we still feel today including a 33 year life expectancy difference between Roxbury & Back Bay. Join us as we mark 85 years since this map was issued February 1st, 1938 during Black History Month 2023. We are looking for volunteers and supporters.
