Start: 11:00 am
Boston, one of New England's largest and most important cities is crammed full of spectacular landmarks and monuments. Enjoy a 2-hour narrated trolley tour that will highlight major works of art that feature the monumental ideas of protest and existence from the 19th through the 21st centuries. The tour will travel through downtown Boston, Beacon Hill, Roxbury, and Jamaica Plain and will include sculptures and murals that document the history of resistance. Rich with history, the tour will offer the understanding of the roles of public art and its power for community engagement, demonstration of civic and cultural pride and the rare discussion of the connections these artworks have to the expression of freedom and visual vocabulary manifested through the eyes of the artists. The trolley will accommodate 40 people. Participation for the tour requires registration. Facilitator: L'Merchie Frazier works at the Museum of African American History and is a bank tenant.
