Boston – Sunday, May 13, at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., celebrate Mother's Day by joining National Park Service rangers from Boston African American National Historic Site on a free Beacon Hill walking tour that highlights the vital role of African American women and their allies in the struggle for social justice and equality in the years preceding the Civil War. The tour will examine the critical role that these women played on the Underground Railroad and in the Abolition Movement, and highlight their contributions to education and community aid and uplift.
