Roxbury Tour Sightseeing
Boston’s Center of African American culture
The Black Art Movement which began in the 60’s continues with huge, political and culturally informative murals painted on the sides of large Roxbury buildings. The Museum of the National Center of Afro-American Artists holds black artwork you won’t see anywhere else in Boston. Roxbury’s commercial districts are bustling with shops, stores and restaurants owned by Blacks and immigrants. A children’s zoo, a municipal golf course and club house and the Olmstead Emerald Necklace and Franklin Park, where on every Juneteenth thousands of black families gather in Franklin Park to connect, cookout and commune and the Elmer Lewis Playhouse vistas are all major components of the Roxbury area.
Black music radio stations and ethnic media publishers generate content influenced by Roxbury’s resident activity and the street vibe of Black Boston, an area covering Roxbury, Dorchester and Mattapan neighborhoods. Dudley Square houses the headquarters complex for the Boston Public Schools system.
Here’s the rear of the USS Constitution naval ship. See it at the Charlestown USS Constitution museum and learn how they made it. It is an excellent museum.
