For one day in February 1964, the inside of St. Mark’s Social Center in Roxbury resembled something unheard of in Boston at the time — a fully integrated classroom. Black and white students sat side-by-side, shoulders colliding and knees brushing The lessons of the day offered what didn’t make their public school textbooks: African American history from the fight against segregation to cultural giants like Louis Armstrong when about 3,000 students attended the so-called Freedom Schools The Freedom Schools did not last long: only two days across the two years. But their legacy lives on in the idea that, if Black children are going to get the schooling they deserve it might have to be in schools created and sustained by Black Bostonians It was an independence movement born of necessity one that predated and would outlast the landmark busing order of 1974 In the ‘60s and ‘70s, as Black Bostonians fought a civil rights battle for better education and as neighborhoods reeled from Judge W. Arthur Garrity Jr.’s decision to integrate Boston’s public schools, the Roxbury Community School and the New School for Children opened as alternatives for Black students failed by BPS Each institution was formed by residents — most often Black women — who had decided to take their children’s education into their own hands white flight,” said former acting mayor Kim Janey who attended the New School for Children in Roxbury during the early ‘70s “But the story is the Black mothers and aunties and grandmothers who decided self-determination was the way to go that we are going to create our own schools and educate our own kids.” The state Board of Education said that it was required to close the school under the state racial balance plan (Bill Curtis/Globe Staff)The pursuit of educational self-determination for Black families has a long history here Boston saw institutions such as Otto and Muriel Snowden’s Freedom House and several other community-run programs in Boston’s Black neighborhoods Among the teachers recruited to instruct New School’s pupils was Gloria Bourne Lee led more than a dozen students through writing Curriculum builders infused lessons with Black leaders and historical figures Bourne Lee said she never designed her lessons with the intention of emphasizing Black pride or Black history. “It’s just who I was,” she said Janey attended school there 50 years ago — for kindergarten and first grade — so she doesn’t remember many details But the feelings she experienced at the New School never left her “I’ve never felt as safe as I did then,” Janey recalled Wanting their son to have a similar educational experience Sister Angela and Brother Joe Cook transformed their theater company into Paige Academy the young couple would walk to closing BPS schools in the neighborhood and bring the left-behind desks Paige Academy has grown from a makeshift classroom of hand-me-down desks and supplies to a self-sufficient community school Families can enroll by paying tuition or enrolling for free through the city’s universal pre-K program about 100 children up to sixth grade are provided year-round programming Almost all of the students are kids of color and most of the teachers are people of color many of whom attended the academy themselves The school’s curriculum focuses on the seven principles of Kwanzaa “We really just spent time observing the kids and seeing what they needed and then try to provide it to them,” Angela Cook said more than a dozen students closed their eyes connected their thumbs and middle fingers as their teacher led them in meditation Joe Cook helped one student operate a small robot with a tablet a circle of toddlers engaged in a musical math lesson counting out each slam of their tiny hands against a cacophonous symphony of Djembe drums whose preschooler Jaxon attends Paige Academy said she has seen a difference in his early education compared with her three older children who attended public schools in New York and Boston “People feel more comfortable when their environment is more cultural,” Williams said such as Roxbury Roots Montessori school that opened in 2021 have also been shaped by the desire for more culturally sensitive learning Roxbury Roots is small: only 24 students between ages 3 and 6 Its founder Renee Jolley follows the example set by local educators such as Mae Arlene Gadpaille of Roxbury who in the ‘60s opened the small Montessori Family Center to educate neighborhood teens and made it her life mission to open a site that met the basic necessities for entire families ranging from employment to groceries to housing Roxbury Roots emphasizes Montessori education principles — independence And Jolley’s creation doesn’t look like a traditional school Despite the work these schools have done over the years their creators agree that they find themselves in a sort of inescapable time loop fighting against the same educational injustices their predecessors sought to erase students painted together at the Roxbury Community School in 1966 Roxbury Community School dietician and chief cook gave a group of students a cooking demonstration in 1969 the schools hardly make a dent in local educational inequality They don’t have the tax dollars of public schools to spend or the steep tuitions from which more affluent such as the Epiphany School in Dorchester’s Shawmut neighborhood the school relies primarily on donors and foundations for funding It is also affiliated with the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts Epiphany School provides full scholarships for its middle schoolers all of whom are enrolled through either referral or a lottery process and are at or below the federal poverty level Some of the school’s 65 staff live at school-owned housing free-of-charge but recognizes the massive potential of her community: “We are really somebody We have the ability but we are not taught well enough to go to a good educated school.” (Charles Glenn papers at Northeastern University Archives and Special Collections) because hardly anyone leaves and creating one would give a “false hope” for interested families “I don’t think every school has to be the same as us at all,” said Finley “But I do think that Epiphany is a good example of what we could hope for for every child.” about 20 sixth-graders were seated at their desks A Black male teacher led them through a lesson on prose A plush sectional and synthetic succulents offered a safe space away from the stresses of classroom learning The school serves as a space where the needs of Black children are met will not be the most important people in their new school The school won’t be set up just for them,” Finley said This story is part of a series produced by

Puglia has garnered interest from municipalities where table grape production thrives This has led to the creation of the Terre dell’Uva network The initiative aims to enhance the value of table grapes and their territories The third edition of Regina di Puglia will be the first to involve the municipalities of Terre dell’Uva The organisers said the expansion is expected to further engage not only grape producers but also local communities which will have the opportunity to promote themselves thanks to the presence of both Italian and international journalists and influencers attending the
