The Boston Writing Project (BWP) is partnering with the Museum of African American History (MAAH) to renew interest and raise public attention about MAAH and engage the community, especially BIPOC youth, with MAAH as a site for public education. We aim to resuscitate the spirit and create new stories of today’s multiethnic Black families who are actively pursuing their civic duties in and around the Greater Boston area in this post-George Floyd era. The BWP and MAAH partnership takes a youth-centered, inquiry stance built upon a reparative, liberatory justice framework. We will partner to restore, nourish, uplift, and learn alongside/from BIPOC students in Boston and Cambridge. This program will support young leaders as we collaboratively work to humanize and transform the curriculum/teaching and learning, supporting writing growth around racial equity issues through understanding the past, analyzing our present, and preparing for an anti-racist, humanistic, civic-oriented future.

Selected teacher fellows will participate in a week long Summer Institute designed and facilitated by local high school students and BWP/MAAH educator leaders to explore writing through the lens of Boston's Black history. Teacher fellows will learn about the education of Black Bostonians in the past to rethink the art of teaching writing.

Sequence of Work:

Part 1: Summer Institute ($1,000 Stipend)

Fellows will meet with BWP/MAAH educator leaders to co-construct a summer learning experience for teachers who serve diverse students in the Greater Boston area.
