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?

The bike project offers vocational training in terms of mechanical skills and business administration. The bikes themselves provide reliable\, affordable transportation for education and the revenue from bike sales helps Learn Work Develop carry out their mission of improving lives. Some of the services offered through the program include life skills development\, job creation\, advocacy in human and civil rights\, and support for women’s issues. Bikes Not Bombs has partnered with LWD since 2018. \nIf you have any questions or comments\, please reach out to Andrew Ahern\, Community Engagement Coordinator (Andrew@bikesnotbombs.org) and Santos Carrasquillo\, Director of Operations (Santos@bikesnotbombs.org).
