SUMMARY:Black Voices of the Revolution: Liberty\, Emancipation\, and the Struggle for Independence
DESCRIPTION:What do you do when a country cries out for liberty—but won’t offer it to you? In the shadowed alleys and crowded docks of Revolutionary-era Boston\, Black men and women—enslaved and free—listened as white colonists thundered about freedom. They heard the speeches. They read the broadsides. But they knew: the liberty being shouted from the rooftops was not meant for them. Still\, they stepped forward. \nInteract with AI-driven\, holographic images of primary sources\, and the men and women who represented the African American community in Massachusetts during the period from the 1620s to 1800. Ask questions of the interactive using a voice activated program or by simply typing your queries on a touchscreen. \nFunded in part by the Massachusetts Office of Travel & Tourism\, MA250\, and created in partnership with the exhibit design firm TimeLooper\, Black Voices of the Revolution considers the American Revolution from the Black and female perspective\, showcasing ideas\, information\, issues\, and insights not often incorporated into traditional history lessons.
