In Elizabeth Taylor Greenfield: The Abolitionist “Black Swan”, Christine Kinealy shares the story of Elizabeth. Born into slavery, Elizabeth became a singing sensation in Famine era Ireland & broke down barriers wherever she sang. 👉youtu.be/Y1SFTTOicUA

Great to see this list from @BarackObama I cannot wait to speak to @dennis_lehane about ‘Small Mercies’. How fitting it will be to have @kdacosta67 join—Kim knows 1970s Boston & Black Irish relations well. Join us for October’s Black, Brown & Green Voices. @aaidnetwork @GIHNYU

Like I do every year, here are some songs I’ve been listening to this summer — a mix of old and new. Look forward to hearing what I’ve missed.

This is Ann Glover, in 1688, she became the last person to be executed for being a witch in Boston.⁠ It was believed by the British settlers in the area she was speaking the devils language.⁠ In reality, Ann was only able to speak Irish.⁠ EP29
