About this Event

Discover the historic treasures of Nubian Square through the eyes of Boston's young scholars.

Join students from METCO's suburban high schools on a walking tour highlighting stories of Black artistry, activism, and achievement you might not have learned before. The FREE tour starts at METCO's brand new headquarters with an in-depth exhibit on the history of educational activism in Boston. Following the exhibit, you will get a chance to explore the historical Nubian Square and all of its impactful, historical, sites representing a hidden chapter of black history that culminated in this area!

- Please plan on using the bathroom before or after the tour. METCO HQ has multiple bathrooms available to use during the gallery tour.
