Black History IS American History!

Join UniteBoston’s Sankofa cohort for a 90 minute presentation on the “Hidden History of Black Boston: 400 Years in 90 Minutes.”  They will review African ‘roots’, emerging Boston/the slave system and how Black folks lived, organized and kept community, and the threads of this we can see today, with a particular focus on the role of Christian communities in perpetuating or resisting slavery.
