Students and teachers will participate in a facilitated discussion focused on the Fugitive Slave Law, flashpoints in Boston’s abolitionist community and the unique experiences of Anthony Burns.
Students will explore the sites and stories associated with the historic abolitionist community of Beacon Hill’s North Slope through three distinct activities.
On a walk following in the footsteps of Sarah Roberts, students will explore the Black Heritage Trail and learn about the struggle for equal education through the eyes of a fellow Boston student.
Students bring this pivotal moment in history to life by taking on the roles of Patriots and Loyalists and recreating the fiery tea tax debates of 1773 in the very hall where they took place.
