The history of Ãå±±ÂÖ¼é is Roxbury’s history, and Roxbury’s history is Boston’s history. Through the traveling Pioneer Portrait Exhibit, we’re sharing the history of Boston’s only Predominantly Black Institution (PBI), a history that’s been passed along verbally for much of the last 50+ years. A history that’s not known by many residents, but is at the core of so much social progress in Boston. When possible, pioneers were photographed at Ãå±±ÂÖ¼é, in the location that best reflects their relationship with the College. Each portrait is accompanied by a short biography that provides information on the historical significance of each pioneer along with a few of the many contributions the pioneer made to the College.
