Description

This podcast explores the history, culture and experiences of the Black community in Boston, Massachusetts and beyond. It is hosted by Dr. Hettie V. Williams, Director of the Trotter Institute for the Study of Black Culture at the University of Massachusetts at Boston. The Trotter Institute was founded in 1984 to promote research/public policy initiatives on the Black community in Boston and it is named for Black activist, journalist, editor and business man William Monroe Trotter (1872-1934). Trotter was an agitator for social justice and it is for this reason that the Institute bears his name. Black in Boston is a show that profiles Black scholars and their allies, authors, community members and policy makers in the city of Boston and beyond.  See our store here: https://blackinboston.com/
