An Unfulfilled Promise: Desegregation and Busing in Boston
During the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and 1970s, while much of the nation's attention was turned toward the South, Northern states and cities also grappled with how to respond to Black Americans' calls for equal rights and treatment. This included Boston, which was gripped in a contentious debate over the issue of segregation in the city's public schools. This debate ultimately produced a 1974 court case, known as Morgan v. Hennigan, which required the city to integrate its public schools through busing and whose consequences continue to reverberate to this day.
In An Unfulfilled Promise: Desegregation and Busing in Boston, we invite you to explore the history around Morgan v. Hennigan and more. Learn about the context leading to the push for school desegregation and some of the key Bostonians on both sides of the school segregation question. Explore the role of the Old State House in this story, consider the challenges the Boston Public School system continues to face, and share your thoughts on…

On December 16, 1773, radical Bostonians threw 340 crates of tea into Boston Harbor to protest what they saw as unfair taxation by the British Parliament. Known today as the “Boston Tea Party,” the event known to contemporaries as “the destruction of the tea” was highly divisive, drawing criticism from figures like Benjamin Franklin and George Washington. It would take almost a century for this event to transform from an embarrassing act of property destruction to a celebrated national origin story.
The Boston Tea Party was not the first instance of property destruction in what would become the United States, and it certainly was not the last. Explore how Americans have used vandalism as a tool of protest throughout the centuries in Impassioned Destruction: Politics, Vandalism, and the Boston Tea Party. Open daily at the Old State House, this new exhibit invites visitors to consider other acts of property destruction in the context of the Tea Party. When, if ever, do you believe it is justified to destro…

On December 16, 1773, radical Bostonians threw 340 crates of tea into Boston Harbor to protest what they saw as unfair taxation by the British Parliament. Known today as the “Boston Tea Party,” the event known to contemporaries as “the destruction of the tea” was highly divisive, drawing criticism from figures like Benjamin Franklin and George Washington. It would take almost a century for this event to transform from an embarrassing act of property destruction to a celebrated national origin story.
The Boston Tea Party was not the first instance of property destruction in what would become the United States, and it certainly was not the last.

During the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and 1970s, while much of the nation's attention was turned toward the South, Northern states and cities also grappled with how to respond to Black Americans' calls for equal rights and treatment. This included Boston, which was gripped in a contentious debate over the issue of segregation in the city's public schools. This debate ultimately produced a 1974 court case, known as Morgan v. Hennigan, which required the city to integrate its public schools through busing and whose consequences continue to reverberate to this day.
In An Unfulfilled Promise: Desegregation and Busing in Boston, we invite you to explore the history around Morgan v. Hennigan and more. Learn about the context leading to the push for school desegregation and some of the key Bostonians on both sides of the school segregation question.

Mourning jewelry in Western European (and later, American) culture dates back to the 16th century but gained huge popularity in the mid-19th century when Queen Victoria mourned the death of her beloved Prince Albert. A few years later, America was embroiled in a civil war with massive loss of life, also creating a big demand for items of mourning.
In this talk, Sarah Nehama, a metalsmith and antique jewelry collector, will give an overview history of mourning jewelry, beginning with the source of its early iconography in memento mori jewelry and objects. She will cover style, iconography, and materials from the mid-17th century up to the early 20th century, showing mourning jewelry’s place in connection to political and public figures, as well as intimate friends and family. Its relation to sentimental jewelry through this time period, particularly sentimental pieces incorporating hair, portraits, or photos, will also be covered. Sarah will have many visual examples to share, and she will highlight jewelry…

The Boston Tea Party was not the first instance of property destruction in what would become the United States, and it certainly was not the last. Explore how Americans have used vandalism as a tool of protest throughout the centuries in Impassioned Destruction: Politics, Vandalism, and the Boston Tea Party.

During the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and 1970s, while much of the nation's attention was turned toward the South, Northern states and cities also grappled with how to respond to Black Americans' calls for equal rights and treatment. This included Boston, which was gripped in a contentious debate over the issue of segregation in the city's public schools. This debate ultimately produced a 1974 court case, known as Morgan v. Hennigan, which required the city to integrate its public schools through busing and whose consequences continue to reverberate to this day.
In An Unfulfilled Promise: Desegregation and Busing in Boston, we invite you to explore the history around Morgan v. Hennigan and more. Learn about the context leading to the push for school desegregation and some of the key Bostonians on both sides of the school segregation question. Explore the role of the Old State House in this story, consider the challenges the Boston Public School system continues to face, and share your thoughts on…

On December 16, 1773, radical Bostonians threw 340 crates of tea into Boston Harbor to protest what they saw as unfair taxation by the British Parliament. Known today as the “Boston Tea Party,” the event known to contemporaries as “the destruction of the tea” was highly divisive, drawing criticism from figures like Benjamin Franklin and George Washington. It would take almost a century for this event to transform from an embarrassing act of property destruction to a celebrated national origin story.
The Boston Tea Party was not the first instance of property destruction in what would become the United States, and it certainly was not the last. Explore how Americans have used vandalism as a tool of protest throughout the centuries in Impassioned Destruction: Politics, Vandalism, and the Boston Tea Party. Open daily at the Old State House, this new exhibit invites visitors to consider other acts of property destruction in the context of the Tea Party. When, if ever, do you believe it is justified to destro…

During the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and 1970s, while much of the nation's attention was turned toward the South, Northern states and cities also grappled with how to respond to Black Americans' calls for equal rights and treatment. This included Boston, which was gripped in a contentious debate over the issue of segregation in the city's public schools. This debate ultimately produced a 1974 court case, known as Morgan v. Hennigan, which required the city to integrate its public schools through busing and whose consequences continue to reverberate to this day.
In An Unfulfilled Promise: Desegregation and Busing in Boston, we invite you to explore the history around Morgan v. Hennigan and more. Learn about the context leading to the push for school desegregation and some of the key Bostonians on both sides of the school segregation question. Explore the role of the Old State House in this story, consider the challenges the Boston Public School system continues to face, and share your thoughts on…

On December 16, 1773, radical Bostonians threw 340 crates of tea into Boston Harbor to protest what they saw as unfair taxation by the British Parliament. Known today as the “Boston Tea Party,” the event known to contemporaries as “the destruction of the tea” was highly divisive, drawing criticism from figures like Benjamin Franklin and George Washington. It would take almost a century for this event to transform from an embarrassing act of property destruction to a celebrated national origin story.
The Boston Tea Party was not the first instance of property destruction in what would become the United States, and it certainly was not the last. Explore how Americans have used vandalism as a tool of protest throughout the centuries in Impassioned Destruction: Politics, Vandalism, and the Boston Tea Party. Open daily at the Old State House, this new exhibit invites visitors to consider other acts of property destruction in the context of the Tea Party. When, if ever, do you believe it is justified to destro…

During the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and 1970s, while much of the nation's attention was turned toward the South, Northern states and cities also grappled with how to respond to Black Americans' calls for equal rights and treatment. This included Boston, which was gripped in a contentious debate over the issue of segregation in the city's public schools. This debate ultimately produced a 1974 court case, known as Morgan v. Hennigan, which required the city to integrate its public schools through busing and whose consequences continue to reverberate to this day.

During the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and 1970s, while much of the nation's attention was turned toward the South, Northern states and cities also grappled with how to respond to Black Americans' calls for equal rights and treatment. This included Boston, which was gripped in a contentious debate over the issue of segregation in the city's public schools. This debate ultimately produced a 1974 court case, known as Morgan v. Hennigan, which required the city to integrate its public schools through busing and whose consequences continue to reverberate to this day.
In An Unfulfilled Promise: Desegregation and Busing in Boston, we invite you to explore the history around Morgan v. Hennigan and more. Learn about the context leading to the push for school desegregation and some of the key Bostonians on both sides of the school segregation question. Explore the role of the Old State House in this story, consider the challenges the Boston Public School system continues to face, and share your thoughts on…

This included Boston, which was gripped in a contentious debate over the issue of segregation in the city's public schools. This debate ultimately produced a 1974 court case, known as Morgan v. Hennigan, which required the city to integrate its public schools through busing and whose consequences continue to reverberate to this day.
In An Unfulfilled Promise: Desegregation and Busing in Boston, we invite you to explore the history around Morgan v. Hennigan and more. Learn about the context leading to the push for school desegregation and some of the key Bostonians on both sides of the school segregation question.

On December 16, 1773, radical Bostonians threw 340 crates of tea into Boston Harbor to protest what they saw as unfair taxation by the British Parliament. Known today as the “Boston Tea Party,” the event known to contemporaries as “the destruction of the tea” was highly divisive, drawing criticism from figures like Benjamin Franklin and George Washington. It would take almost a century for this event to transform from an embarrassing act of property destruction to a celebrated national origin story.
The Boston Tea Party was not the first instance of property destruction in what would become the United States, and it certainly was not the last. Explore how Americans have used vandalism as a tool of protest throughout the centuries in Impassioned Destruction: Politics, Vandalism, and the Boston Tea Party. Open daily at the Old State House, this new exhibit invites visitors to consider other acts of property destruction in the context of the Tea Party. When, if ever, do you believe it is justified to destro…
