Join us as we begin the BRL88 journey tracing Boston’s earliest Black community roots — from the North End’s historic New Guinea Settlement to Joy Street on Beacon Hill.
This immersive tour connects the past and present through sites that tell Boston’s story of resilience, faith, and freedom. Led by Afrimerican Academy, the walk explores the lives of free Black Bostonians who shaped the city from the colonial era through abolition and beyond.

Boston Redline 88 (BRL88) is a month-long cultural campaign produced by the Afrimerican Academy celebrating 88 years since the 1938 redlining map of Boston. Through film, tours, and dialogue, BRL88 reclaims space, challenges inequity, and nurtures the vision of Rev. Dr. King’s Beloved Community.
