"Donation People:" Refugees from the Siege of Boston

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

The talk will examine the experience of the poor and ill forced out of Boston during the 1775-1776 siege. The refugees, known as donation people, bore the brunt of the American Revolutionary war in Boston, yet their treatment by the people of Massachusetts represented a spirit of welfare in the new nation.
