About the exhibition

Experience what it was like to be Black in Boston during the period of the American Revolution 250 years ago.

AI helps tell this Black Boston history that continues to unfold to this day — like in February ’26,  the month of national Black history observance, a team of Boston Black property developers lost rights to build on a billion dollar Parcel 3 Tremont Street empty. Their plans were scraped because financial feasibility ambitions didn’t work out, simply put – they didn’t get the money.

Poof! went hundreds of affordable housing units, a major Black-owned shopping complex, a new  African American Arts and Cultural performance space, offices for The Embrace organization — would have been a platform for Black wealth building.  Now, Boston Mayor Wu has new plans for the site which includes an improved high school based industrial training faciity.
