Talk Description

Cambridge Massachusetts is known by many as an intellectual hub, thanks to its two world-class universities, Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The city evolved from a farming village in the 1600s to an industrial town, to a city of science and technology innovation today. Throughout Cambridge’s 400-year history, Black people have contributed to the wealth and intellectual capital of the city. On this virtual tour, we’ll learn about the often-overlooked Black History of Cambridge.
