The African American Trail Project

The African American Trail Project is a collaborative public history initiative housed at Tufts University. Originally inspired by the scholarship of Tufts Professor Gerald R. Gill (1948-2007) and driven by faculty and student research, this campaign maps African American and African-descended public history sites across greater Boston, and throughout Massachusetts. Anthem is collaborating with Tufts’ Center for the Study of Race and Democracy to amplify the project’s goals to develop African American historical memory and intergenerational community, placing present-day struggles for racial justice in the context of greater Boston’s historic African American, Black Native, and diasporic communities.
