In Massachusetts, during a semiquincentennial celebration that stretches from Revolutionary War heroes to Grammy-winning performers.
Knox took center stage on Evacuation Day in March, marking 250 years since the British evacuated Boston after he trekked a cannon, guns and artillery 300 miles through a New England winter from Fort Ticonderoga to Dorchester Heights.
Chance The Rapper will take to the stage on July 4, when Massachusetts joins the rest of the country in celebrating 250 years since the birth of the nation.
But the celebrations feature more than just Knox and the Chicago rapper. The Bay Staters who have been gearing up for this for years are at the heart of it.
“The idea of Revolution started back in 2015. When we got started, we were the only people talking about the 250th in Massachusetts. Of course, that would change over time,” said Jonathan Lane, whose name was mentioned by nearly everyone working behind the scenes on the anniversary festivities. Lane is executive director of Revolution 250, a consortium of organizations working to commemorate the semiquincentennial.
