Samantha Brown Places To Love!
It was an honor to host Samantha Brown on the Nubian Square Tour last summer. @samanthabrowntravels heard about the work we were doing from @visitboston and decided to come to see Roxbury for herself. Check out the Boston Episode today at 12 pm EST on @PBS.
We can’t tell you how proud we are to showcase Roxbury on a nationally syndicated show. It’s been our goal since we started to make sure the world knows about this neighborhood and its contributions to Black history and Dr. Martin Luther King’s legacy.
We’d like to give a huge shout out to @frugalbooks for teaming up with us to highlight the community. If you’re not able to watch the episode when it airs, you can find it on her website ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️
ROXBURY / NUBIAN SQUARE TOUR WITH Samanthabrown.com
Roxbury is another neighborhood in Boston with its own unique culture. Founded all the way back in 1630, it’s been an epicenter for Black culture since the 20th century. Even Malcolm X lived here with his sister from his mid-teens to early twenties. It also witnessed the love story between another certain Civil Rights leader and his future wife, memorialized in a mural you don’t want to miss!
FRUGAL BOOKSTORE
Named Boston’s best book store in 2020, Frugal Bookstore is the only African-American owned bookstore in the city. Located in Nubian Square, the bookstore has spent over a decade amplifying the voices of BIPOC authors. It especially wants to ensure that children who walk through its doors see books with characters that look like them.
