From last night’s MeetBoston gathering at the Boch Center, Yvonne Hao, Secretary of Economic Development tells the audience, “I can’t tell you how annoying it was to be with my counterparts from Virginia and Pennsylvania and hear them say “oh yeah we founded the country in our state.” Really? I don’t think so, people.The tea was thrown in the water here. The first shot was heard around the world here.
We have a moment coming up in 2025 to tell our story to the whole world.”
Amen!

We only have a few spaces left for tomorrow’s Indigenous People of Concord Tour at 2 pm - learning about those who came before us is a perfect activity after the Thanksgiving feast. While we ate turkey yesterday, Concord’s first residents also ate deer, muskrat, salmon, eel and a variety of nuts, fruits and berries. Freshwater mussels were a favorite food, as we know from the vast number of shells found near Emerson Hospital. Sign up at VisitConcord.org walking tours. Your young student is welcome to come learn more.
