Want to perform a good deed? Let's help Boston's Museum of African-American History win a $100,000 preservation grant. The museum is housed in the city's historic Abiel Smith School and African Meeting house. Both sites played a significant part in the abolitionist movement and the grant would go toward the preservation of the Abiel Smith School, built in 1834. It was the first public school in America designated to the education of black children and is a National Historic Landmark.
I had a chance to visit the landmark earlier this year and am looking forward to my next visit.
You can vote once every day until May 17th, so let's get to it. Please visit the website for Partners in Perservation to vote.
Abiel Smith School 46 Joy St Boston, MA 02114
