As we recognized Pride Month in June\, we’re spotlighting some of the historical places in and around Boston that comprise this city’s rich and vibrant LGBTQ culture. From bars to churches\, from libraries to law firms\, the importance of physical space to marginalized groups has had an immense impact not only on the ways that Boston’s LGBTQ communities have organized\, but how they’ve built culture upon foundations of strong heritage. Unfortunately\, for a variety of reasons\, many of Boston’s most beloved and important historically queer spaces have been demolished\, abandoned\, or repurposed. Many of us\, even with connections to the LGBTQ communities in and around Boston\, are unaware of our city’s rich and vibrant history; in recognizing where these places stood and by educating others about their importance to American history\, we can trace the social geography of Boston’s LGBTQ heritage and perhaps become inspired to preserve other non-traditional yet culturally significant spaces. \nQuestions?

Check back soon for more information. \n— \nPlease join us for our Unity in Community ride: Celebrating Boston’s Black History as we ride along The Black Heritage Trail®. \nThe Black Heritage Trail is a 1.6 mile route through the heart of Boston’s Beacon Hill neighborhood. Most sites along the trail remain private residences. However\, the final stops—the Abiel Smith School and the African Meeting House—are part of the Museum of African American History which is open to the public. The Black Heritage Trail showcases residences and community buildings associated with a Black community that thrived on\, and near\, the north slope of Beacon Hill before\, during\, and after the American Civil War. Throughout that time\, this community struggled and organized for equal rights and access to equal education. Community members championed the movement to abolish slavery and even housed freedom seekers on their journey along the Underground Railroad. \nQuestions?

Thaw out your bike and come together to join in community and blossom with your friends in the larger bike-pedestrian organizing and advocacy space. \nIt does not matter if you are a newcomer to the scene\, or a long time Boston-area cyclist\, come mingle and network with your peers before setting out on a route that features some of the bike paths that will be connected by Mayor Wu’s Everyone Deserves Safe Streets plan. \nIf your bike needs some TLC\, Bikes Not Bombs apprentices will provide basic cleaning and air/brakes/chain checks. There will be socializing galore\, opportunities to connect with members of the Boston Transportation Department’s Active Transportation team\, and the Boston Cyclists Union’s organizing team. \nAt Bikes Not Bombs\, we recognize that bike access may be an issue\, and we are grateful that Bluebikes has offered free Adventure Passes for anyone wanting to join.
