Boston's Black Restaurant Challenge, and Exploring Pilgrims' Past Through Music

Rep. Chynah Tyler (D- Suffolk 7th) comes on the show to tell us about the Boston Black Restaurant Challenge. She talks with Nichole about the restaurants involved in the Challenge, how it was developed to honor Black History Month, and the extra set of hurdles Black business owners face - not just in Boston, but around the country. Genevra Morse, Director of Education and Online Programs for the New England Historical Genealogical Society, is on the show to talk about the Society’s new “Four Nation” Concert Series. This is the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower landing, but the history is far more complex than many of us may realize. Genevra explains the roles of the Dutch, English, and Wampanoag in the story of the Pilgrims, and details the lecture-concert series that kicks off next week with music that has roots from centuries ago.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
