Black Voices: Writers for a 19th Century Revolution - SPARK Boston Tour

Come along with Spark Boston and Boston By Foot for an exploration of civic engagement and history!

Learn about the mark Black thinkers and writers made on literary and political history: David Walker and his sentinel work, Appeal to the Colored Citizens of the World; novelist, playwright and editor Pauline Elizabeth Hopkins; Dorothy West and her biting satire on racial tensions, and many others.

Walk Beacon Hill as you explore where they worked, raised their families, fought injustice, and wrote. Join us Sunday, August 3 from 4 – 6 p.m. as we explore the stories of Black writers, thinkers, and revolutionaries who shaped 19th-century Boston—and American history. You can meet us at the Museum of African American History – 46 Joy Street, Boston, MA 02114.
