The Beacon Hill Scholars is a diverse group of individuals who seek
to research, preserve, and interpret the history associated with the free African American Community that once thrived on
Beacon Hill in the early 19th Century.
Together we hope to enhance efforts to continue building upon the ongoing mission and inspiration begun
by that earlier community – to foster justice, equality, and social and economic responsibility.
