METCO high school students uncover the past and present of Boston's Black activists, in and around historic Nubian Square in Roxbury.

Discover the historic treasures of Nubian Square through the eyes of Boston's young scholars.

Join students from METCO's suburban high schools on a walking tour highlighting stories of Black artistry, activism, and achievement you might not have learned before.

The FREE tour starts at METCO's brand new headquarters with an in-depth exhibit on the history of educational activism in Boston.

Following the exhibit, you will get a chance to explore the historical Nubian Square and all of its impactful, historical, sites representing a hidden chapter of black history that culminated in this area!

We expect the following:

- Please dress comfortably (sneakers, athletic or flexible clothing, warm clothing if cold, etc).

- Please bring a bottle of water with you to remain hydrated on this tour.

- Please plan on using the bathroom before or after the tour.

METCO HQ has multiple bathrooms available to use during the gallery tour.
