It’s Black Historical past Month and the continued name for reparation for slavery shed some mild of hope for some communities in Boston, Massachusetts. Boston’s Mayor, Michelle Wu has introduced that committees have been fashioned to look into town’s previous and examine and report the Metropolis of Boston’s historic connections with slavery.
The mayor who lately made this announcement stated that the committees will look at town’s position with the Trans Atlantic Slave Commerce. These committees will look at the establishment of slavery and its legacies.
In response to Mayor Wu the historians will make connections and see the affect of slavery on the each day lives of the communities. “I’m grateful to those groups of historians who will serve our metropolis by documenting Boston’s position within the Trans Atlantic Slave Commerce and myriad legacies of slavery that continues to affect the each day lives of our metropolis’s communities.”
One space of analysis would be the impact and the affect that slavery had on town’s descendants up till current day.
When native Boston resident, a descendant of slave, Donna Miller learnt of town’s effort to research and additional report the Trans-Atlantic Slave Commerce operations in Boston many years in the past, she advised the Caribbean Life Newspaper that, she was glad discussions are going down, ‘however I’ll wait and see what is going to occur,” she somberly commented.
