In the Shadow of the Declaration: Boston's Hidden Architects of American Freedom

Join the National Parks of Boston and the Boston Public Library for a series of virtual talks. 

Explore how the Declaration of Independence reshaped Boston by examining the experiences of communities often excluded from its promises. Look at how Black Bostonians organized and petitioned for freedom while women questioned their exclusion from political and social rights. Together, these perspectives reveal how independence sparked debates over who truly benefited from the Revolution, showing 1776 Boston as a place where the ideals of freedom were contested, expanded, and reimagined.
