10/28 People's History Walking Tour of Boston
*Please join the Labor Resource Center at UMASS Boston on
*
*Saturday, October 28, at 9:30 am, for the first James Green Memorial
Lecture, featuring Patricia Reeve, to be followed by the kick-off of the
walking tour.*
Using James Green's "A Working People's Heritage Trail" (2001) as a
point of departure, historian Cristina Groeger (Harvard, PhD) created
"The People's History Walking Tour of Boston" by identifying and
researching important sites, writing their histories, and putting her
tour on-line so friends of labor can now follow along using their
smartphones.
The event will begin with the first James Green Memorial Lecture.
Patricia Reeve, a professor of history at Suffolk University, will talk
about the relationship between history and the labor movement, what it
means to be an activist-public historian, and reflect on various paths
forward for history and the labor movement. Professor Cristina Groeger
will then discuss the making of the "Peoples' History Walking Tour of
Boston."
