Скачать или смотреть Why Boston’s Freedom Trail tours are more diverse than ever

Despite the nationwide political and cultural campaign against diversity, equity and inclusion, the stories being told along Boston’s Freedom Trail are more diverse than ever.

In March, President Donald Trump issued an executive order directing federally controlled historic sites to present what he called “patriotic” history. He denounced efforts to highlight the country’s legacy of slavery and oppression as a “revisionist movement” that “seeks to undermine the remarkable achievements of the United States by casting its founding principles and historical milestones in a negative light.”

But most of the sites along the Freedom Trail are not federally controlled. And the private Boston companies that run the tours say they have a very different view of how history should be told.
